I am not exactly fond of cars or driving, but many people around the world are. These days, it’s become more common for a car company to push out lines of hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, or some other form of “green” transportation. While this step is nice and all, it made me wonder: what else are all the car companies doing to help the environment? If you were to consider everything that goes into putting a car on the road—from mining and drilling for resources to fuel and build the car, to building all the offices, plants, dealerships, parking lots,…

Although the Top Gear crew is known for being over-the-top critical sometimes, I have to admit that I, like everyone else I guess, tent to forget that CO2 emissions of cars (and of all other products for that matter) should be calculated starting at the creation of the product and not – as is too often the case –…

Green cars have been taking the world by storm. There are: hybrids, electric, ethanol, hydrogen, solar, biodiesel and others, all with their own unique features. How many of these companies do you know of that actually give back to the environment, or rather, try to form a genuine give-and-take relationship with the environment? Well, you’ll soon be aware of one, and it’s certainly no surprise. Toyota has taken another big, green step towards eco-friendliness. They may be the first car company ever to be involved with plant engineering. That’s right, Toyota has engineered not one, but two new species of…
