Being an environment junkie, I do try to find out if some of the things that I would be using would be harmful to nature. And when my friend in the US asked me what vehicle would be best, I decided to do some research for him. And here’s what I found from
MSNBC.
The list is actually from the ACEEE (American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy) and what they did was they ranked the 2007 model vehicles and used fuel economy and emission as the criteria.

Hey Noel! Cool car!
I just read this story over at yahoo! green: http://green.yahoo.com/index.php?q=node/497
It’s about solar powered cell phones. Interesting, but I guess it will probably be awhile before we can get one.
Okay, I’m all for green living… including green autos. But the green friendly cars all look so tiny and breakable to me. Like my son’s little toy cars — you know, the ones you pull back and they go. I wish they’d start making them more sturdy looking.
cool phone! Still prices at $510 but I suppose if major players offer something similar, prices would go down. But it is a cool concept.
If Nokia will have an Nseries phone with those built in solar power charging, that would surely go into my gadget wishlist
