Re: Hiker Sit-Down Tricycle

This sit down tricycle looks fascinating. It sounds very well engineered for human use, and looks highly optimised for long-ish distance use without the problems of fatigue and back soreness.

I'm not so sure about parking though :)

Until you sit down and think about it a) you might not realise how much plastic you are currently using in your daily lives, but b) how difficult it can be to remove it from your life (style). Following that blog will be a huge revelation for us all and a great learning tool in following the path ourselves, at the very least to some degree.

Sounds really amazing. Bonus points for the colection / harvesting of rain water. Not enough building projects go the step to harvest rain water, such a valuable resource!

Green Hospitals! That certainly sounds like the way of the future. There more big operations that can become environmentally responsible and use renewable/clean resources the better, for all of us.

Re: DIY: Recycling Floppy Disks

Wow! What an amazingly environmentally friendly way to use those old floppy discs that would have otherwise eventually ended up in the dump. These are the sorts of environmentally friendly ideas that are real gems and practical.

Congratulations. These are initiatives that I applaud. With the growing market segment of environmentally friendly / earth-wise / natural / eco friendly people who do want make a difference, these things need to be policed right down to black and white with no grey areas allowed for exploitation. Good Luck with the initiative, it's definitely long over due.

Re: The Poor Urge Their Governments To Hug Fewer Trees

Perhaps some of the richer countries need to rally in support of the environment of some of the poorer countries. You only get one chance. If they can't do it, it would be nice to see those that can, step up to the plate for the sake of world environment and global impacts.

This is amazing. Great use of recycled parts for a truly practical project as well as environmentally friendly. Also, get a nice hot shower out of it :)

Wow! Even though things like this have been around for some time,it's always good to see people challenge the way everyday items are, such as bikes in this case. Instead of maintaining the status quo they continue to work them into new designs that have enormous benefits for everybody involved. If only it was happening a little faster in the car industry.
