Toyota's low-cost hybrid to be based on Yaris {Autoblog Green}
Jul 24th 2009 9:39PM Sounds good. I think the current Yaris is already a pretty Green car - can't wait for Toyota to unveil a hybrid option.

Brammo Enertia electric motorcycle now available {Engadget}
Jul 9th 2009 8:57AM Agree with Privet that most folks are being needlessly harsh on the Brammo.
True, it is probably too expensive for many would-be buyers, but there are lots of urban commuters who would probably love the convenience, the zero-emissions and the early adopter elements of buying one.
(And as for 80% of U.S. electricity coming from coal, I think someone just pulled that number out of his hat. The first stat I found from a respected source - PBS - indicates that only 50% of U.S. power comes from coal - http://www.pbs.org/now/science/coal.html. That's still a high percentage, but it probably varies dramatically by region. If your municipality gets some electricity from solar or wind power, then buying the Brammo might be a great eco-friendly option.)
By the way, for urban commuters who do only live a few miles from work and don't want to drop $12,000 on a motorcycle, the A2B electric bike (i.e. stealth scooter) might be a better option -- http://1greenproduct.com/2009/07/03/a2b-electric-two-wheeler/

Turn your Nalgene bottle into a lantern {DIY Life}
Jul 18th 2008 10:39AM I think the LightCap200 is one of the best solar-powered products I've seen thus far.
Beautiful, functional and rugged -- what more could you want?
In fact, I just reviewed the LightCap200 on my own site - http://1greenproduct.com/2008/07/outdoors-home-lightcap200.html
Hope you find my review useful!
