I recommand for all of you to “shut down” your house and take a walk outside. :) For those who cannot do that, please make an effort to close all your electric devices between 20:00-21:00 hours on 29 March. I believe in small individual efforts that make a huge change if it’s done by all of us

Green Yourself!
Its time to fasten your seat belts and get ready for a much greener drive because some people at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a compact car that capture, stores and eventually recycle carbon from vehicles to prevent the pollutant from finding its way into the atmosphere. This sustainable transportation system uses a liquid fuel and traps the carbon emission in the vehicle for later processing at a fueling station.
The Georgia Tech car can run on conventional petrol or diesel, but has an on-board processor to separate out the hydrogen in the fuel. The hydrogen is used to run the car, as in a fuel cell vehicle, giving zero-emissions operation (the only waste product is water) and the carbon is stored in a liquid solution.

It looks straight out of World Disney. Yeah. One look at it, and you take it for granted that Donald Duck will peep through the window any moment. And if you have seen Pixar, you wouldn’t allow anybody to try to convince you that it is not a life-size replica from the movie. In fact, the ‘Concetto’ addition, however, was clearly inspired by the animated flick. To complete the picture, it sports a cheerful orange paint job and features an interior with plastic seaweed growing from the dash, underwater-like cabin illumination and pictures of Nemo’s friends stitched in the seats.
Would you believe me if I said that this cartoony car is not only a real car called Citroen Nemo Concetto but an eco-friendly one too, emitting only 119 gm of CO2 per kilometer?
