Lets drive in a friendlier way

"In the first six months of 2007, over 23,000 environmentally friendly cars were sold in the European country, translating into a rise of 25% over the same period last year. The growth indicates that low-emission automobiles made up for around 15% of all new registered cars."

For those who do not have an eco-friendly car there are other ways that can help the economy. Reducing the amount of driving can really help make the world a more "green" environment. So if you can't or don't have access to a hybrid try and use a train because it will really help.

green luggage on a green vacation!

When you are going on and eco-friendly trip you need to have eco-friendly luggage to top it all off. At Sherpani Eco-Friendly Luggage they have found a way to start something different for women. With their introduction of the new eco-friendly luggage collection they managed to make their new baggage out of 67% recycled materials. The Sherpani company's newest series of luggage has focused on another quality of their bags which is equally as important. They made these bags so that women could go out for an adventurous day in the woods and then go to dinner at a very fancy restaurant. There idea was to make it look good but tough at the same time.

Hip To Be Hemp

"Hemp is the favorite fabric choice for many ultra greens because of it’s the awe-inspiring qualities. Fine fawn hemp is unbleached, keeping it soft. Herringbone hemp is thicker and stronger. The natural durability of hemp makes it an excellent, green choice for constructing bags and suitcases.

Hemp can also be combined with cotton to create a stronger, blended fabric that is even more durable. Hemp/cotton duffle bags, suitcases, wallets, and other travel accessories are widely available online and in natural stores."

They use solar panels to provide hot water and renewable electricity; there are hydro-carbon fridges; water is filtered and bottled on site; a wormery digests raw food; a hot composter manages the garden's waste; an experimental system transforms cooking oil into a compostable substance; and the kitchen runs on hydroelectricity.
