Electric Cars

The company Zero-Air-Polition, also known as Zap, specializes in creating electric powered cars. Currently, the available models do not sound appropriate for highway driving, but are perfect for city driving. Once they have fast version (upto 65 mph), I plan on buying a Zap car!

New homes being built in an earth-friendly manner

Well, I recently bought my first house, and am in the process of upgrading and enhancing it to be better for both my family and for the environment. However, if I were in the market to buy a new house, then I'd probably consider visiting Michelle Kaufmann Designs. They are a home-designing firm that focuses on building earth-friendly homes.

I must admit that I do not like the styles of their homes, but I very much agree with their goal of building an earth-friendly home. If they made an earth-friendly home in the style of a 3-bedroom Dutch Colonial, then I'd be calling them for more information and pricing!
