2007-09-13 20:43:07
An organization named Green Karat certifies gold as green or eco friendly. The make sure that gold was mined not under war, thru fair labor, and do as less harm to the environment as possible. They do this by retraining miners into non-mining livelihoods, advocating for the recycling of precious metals. Most of it is sitting in bank vaults anyways! Gold mining is faulted with deforestation, soil erosion into streams. The industry uses chemicals, especially mercury to separate gold from rock. Its harms both its workers and the surrounding ecosystem as well. They also oppose diamond mining because of the unconscionable human and ecological sacrifice as seen in the hit film “Blood Diamond” which stars Leonardo DiCaprio.

Iceland to have all fossil free cars
2007-09-21 12:39:46
Iceland will have the greenest transport of any country soon. They are experimenting with having cars and buses using hydrogen. Already, the country’s electricity and heating comes from hydroelectric and geothermal springs that are in abundance in Iceland. But for cars they have to transport overseas and the result is $8 a gallon. So Iceland will invest heavily in hydrogen technologies. Hydrogen is produced with water and electricity and Iceland has much of both. Car companies such as General Motors, Toyota, and Daimler Chrysler, are using the island-nation as a testing ground. Pictured here is the Mercedes Benz A-class F-cell. It is an electric car powered by a fuel cell which generates electricity by converting hydrogen and oxygen into water. Right now there are a few buses in the capital Reykjavik, but by 2010 the people of Iceland will be able to purchase one. Within a year local energy company employees and a Hertz will get to drive them. Maybe you can go to Iceland as tourist a

Honda Puyo hydrogen fuel cell 4 seater

This concept car by Honda will be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor show by the end of the month. Its a cute one isn’t it? Looks like a perfect commuting vehicle. Its got no corners and has a lot of transparent materials. It will include and instrument panel monitor, a joystick steering wheel, and fluid level displays… ITs eco friendly as it relies on hydrogen fuel cell technology. The only problem is developing hydrogen as it still requires fossil technology to create unless you want to create nuclear plants. Then you have to put it in the car as a compressed gas and that could be dangerous. I still love the invisible headlights, that clear canopy which I hope comes tinted, and the fact that it has no side mirrors… Via Inhabitat Share This
