I don't know about you all, but I am starting to get a bit tired of all the inflated "green" hype. Don't get me wrong. I am all for reducing our carbon footprint, recycling, reusing and reinventing, and think we should ALL be doing more. What irks me are the unsubstantiated claims of being "green" that many companies boast even when all they may have done is start to use recycled packaging. While

The Cargocycles can go most anywhere and they can park easily between two cars. Cargocycle deliveries are completely nonpolluting, in terms of both emissions and noise. Cargocycles are also available for lease or sale, should you be inclined to have your own.

Fleet managers from across Australia today will test drive 31 low-emission vehicles at Sandown International Raceway.
The event, organised by Future Climate Australia, RACV and EPA Victoria, has been prompted by soaring fuel costs and the new requirements for companies to log and pay for their greenhouse gas emissions.
Future Climate Australia executive director Henry O’Clery said that while new vehicle sales exceeded one million for the first time last year, only 13 per cent qualified as low-emission vehicles.
“We acknowledge that fleet buyers’ hands are tied due to local vehicle manufacturers lagging behind European and Asian counterparts in terms of LEV production,” he said.
“However, this drive day and forum will demonstrate the availability of performance

Green to its core, this Zero electric motocross bike does make its mark in making this world a better place to live in. Or at least your neighborhood! Because it won’t disturb you with all the noise that the two-stroke gasoline engines produce. And along with producing no noise, it also doesn’t need gas and has performance on par with a 250cc gasoline bike. And if you are asking for more, then you better go for a run darling! Powered by 300 amps it will be able to hit 0 -30 within 2 seconds, with 100% torque being made available at all instances. Weighing just 140 pounds, a 2 hour charge offers a 40 mile range. So if I have got you appreciating this electric bike then, dig out $7,450 or $8,350 for standard and high power models respectively.tags:Electric Bike Scooter Electric Motorbike

"High Hopes" Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway Do they still meet there by the Cut There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps Running before time took our dreams away Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground To a life consumed by slow decay The grass was greener The light was brighter With friends surrounded The nights of wonder..."High Hopes" is a song from the 1994 Pink Floyd album, The Division Bell, written by David Gilmour and Polly Samson.
