Two of the major causes of pollutants stem from electricity and gas. So we not only need to purchase eco-friendly cars that use alternative fuel sources, but take steps to limit or erase electricity use. The NESEA (Northeast Sustainable Energy Association) is a mine of information regarding various methods and . . . ta-da! tax credits and other ways to save money or get more money back simply by being more green! They provide information on various methods for making your home more green and, for those shopping for home and wishing to make it eco-friendly from the start, they provide info on various methods (biopower, fuel cells, solar electricity, solar hot water, etc.) so that you have several options to employ. There are even places that will install solar panels at a very cheap price and, depending on where you live in the United States, you will receive discounts on any electricity you have to use at night. Places like JointheSolution give you information on these.
The NESEA also provides a link to DSIRE (Database of State Incentive for Renewables & Efficiency), which, once you click on your state, give you a breakdown of all possible personal and business credits (means money!) you can either get more of, or pay less for all because you are ahead of the curve!!! You can't tell me you don't like money, okane, dinero, buckaroos!!! The NESEA also has lists of the various kinds of cars that cut down on gas emissions. They show you the hybrid vehicles to battery-electric vehicles, to cars that run on used vegetable oil. There are quite a few to choose from and, in future cars that run on gasoline, indeed the traditional gas stations may soon become something we read about only in history books.
There are also innovative new, kawaii (cute) vehicles being developed by companies such as Nissan. Their Pivo 2 is not only electric powered and, for those like my mother who have trouble parallel parking, it eliminates the need for this difficult endeavor. You won't hear your relative or friend telling you, "Please get out and let me know when to stop backing up so I don't hit the car behind me." When you pull alongside a parking space the wheels rotate and the car slides in sideways. Also, the top of the car roates as well, so you no longer have to look in your rearview mirror; waiting for traffic to ebb before you hop out of the driver's side. It rotates and the door opens on the sidewalk. It may look small, but this baby can seat three people.
It also includes robotic features and is extremely different from any concept car I have seen. This car talks and listens to the driver!! It infers "the driver's mood through conversation and facial monitoring technology". How amazing is that. Although, I don't think this car would interest most men as it is oh so cute, but who knows! I may be mistaken.
Pollutants at home and by car are two of the biggest hazardous impacts on our environment. By using sources through sites such as these, we can seriously decrease emissions which lead to global warming.

We need to ask Angelo (he sits next to you) what he thinks of the car.
I think this is very realistic plan for global warming. Eco friendly cars and other possible solution like tax credits are really impressived. I hope I can see those small little cars in actual street as soon as possible.
I like the eco friendly cars and I too have trouble with parking. this car would have both of my problems solved. It would save the environment and park itself! It is also very intersting that people who are willing to be more green get money for the electicity that they use during night time. I think that schools should have mandatory workshops on how to save the environment right at our houses.
once again, nice blog! I am with you on the hybrid cars. They are sort of expensive, but if we are going to waste the money buying or leasing a new car, it should be a Hybrid. As far as that "pivo2", it is kind of fruity lol. They should start making Manly hybrids!!!!
I think the pictures you posted are really cool. I think its mainly the givernment who needs to play a more active role and make these sources available to the people. Electricity and gas as you said are the most important factors contributing to gloabl warming. With the eco-friendly cars we can definiitely make a change.
I love the cars!!! I think it would be great if those cars down the line were all what we used, just like how we need to change our tvs (because the gov't says so, should be the same with the cars). I can't even drive so (lol) but I thik it's pretty cool that it hears you. There needs to be a big change ASAP
I love the new car. Ive heard rumors about it, but thanks for making it interactive. I love the new ideas that you put up every week. I agree with the fact that the temperature rise in the future will be a huge problem and we do have to change our ways of using energy. I have changed my car and I have changed the way I use energy also. I drive a smaller car and I also try my best to shut off switches in rooms that I dont use.
I think the pivo 2 is a really cool looking and works in some real awesome ways. Unfortunately not alot of people are educated on the different ways they could save money and be enviromentally friendly at the same time. The government needs to get more envolved to help make a change in the government.
