New train is an energy-sipper for Japanese commuters


Basically, drive units are installed at points along the railway that will pull the cars up so that the Eco Ride can get the potential energy needed to run. The strategy reduces the size of the railroad, structures, and stations, as well as the need for drive units on each car, and so the line can be built along the medians of expressways and sidewalks for a pretty low price.it uses half the energy needed to run trains and a third of that needed to run buses.test line will figure out if it is marketable.hopefully it is marketable then it can save energy for the country while provide a efficient public transport to public.a good public transport can reduce the used of vehicle and thus can reduce carbon dioxide.i enjoy reading it and i hope our country can invent this kind of commuters to solve the traffic jam and pollution. http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/730/new-train-is-an-energy-sipper-for-japanese-commuters.htmlBy Jaymi Heimbuch

Nanosolar gets another $300M


nanosolar is a thin-film solar.it become more and more popular and a big investment is apply to it.this is because, they manage to take their technology from the lab to commercial scale fairly inexpensively. Then they start selling solar panels that can produce energy at near grid-parity. the only thing keeping their prices high is that they can't fill demand.maybe in the future nanosolar is providing energy to consumer.it is good because it is environment friendly.i enjoy reading it because it is another invention of nanotechnology.http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/733/nanosolar-gets-another-300m.html;_ylt=AloGPCQVPTS_2y9mZp8y_8OIV8cXBy Hank Green

Bamboo notebook is more than just pretty


it is made of some sustainable wood product by Asus. The series uses energy-efficient Super Hybrid Engine technology, that can extend battery life by 35-70% of other similar notebooks that don’t utilize the technology. this is important that a laptop can give good performance as well as green to environment.the system can intelligently monitor what the user is doing, and adjust power levels accordingly.ASUS states that this technology can reduce yearly CO2 emissions by 12.3kg each notebook.it is just 12'' that small to fit a pocket but it cannot provide good visual when you watch movie.it is news to me,i enjoy reading it.hope more and more environment friendly stuff is coming and with a reasonable retail price.http://green.yahoo.com/blog/ecogeek/737/bamboo-notebook-is-more-than-just-pretty.htmlBy Jaymi Heimbuch

Pumping Up Your Iron

If you've suffered heavy periods and tests show you have anemia with low iron levels, then you may have been told to start an iron supplement. The most commonly recommended iron supplement is ferrous sulfate at a dose of 325 mg twice daily. This compound has a good amount of elemental iron. To maximize iron absorption, take the supplement with orange juice or vitamin C. Avoid mixing your iron supplement with milk, antacids or your calcium supplement, though, because these substances will reduce iron absorption.one of the most important ways to make sure you get enough iron is through a varied diet with lots of iron-rich foods. Meats, especially liver, and veggies like spinach and other dark leafy green ones, are great sources of iron. Also look for iron-enriched breads and cereals. to me, i will choose to eat varied diet.i like to eat vegetable and bread.this two must be my best choice.this blog is provide many useful information.i enjoy reading it, it is good.http://health.yahoo.com/experts/women/1209/pumping-up-your-iron/By Paula Kue, MD

nowaday,everyone is talk about living green.in fact, to being living green, sometime will face problem.like David Duchovny said:" I've had it for the last four years. It was supposed to be a prototype for the next generation of cars. But the problem is that the car needs charging every night and the most you can do in a day is 80 miles. It is like being tethered." the Toyota RAV4 is not practical at all.sometime it is hard to find replacement.due to that the result get in finally is no as good as using the petrol.but at least we try to protect our earth.i agree what he said, i hope in future there must be improvement.i enjoy reading it.http://green.yahoo.com/blog/forecastearth/99/david-duchovny-is-a-reluctant-electric-car-driver.html;_ylt=Ald.6YfPCQ9wcsRr0rrpHYOiV8cXBy Forecast Earth Correspondent

Bottoms up

Organic vodka is the new trend, with pesticide-free .nowadays each company fight to score the most eco-point. Vodka 14 bakes ceramic pigments onto the bottle in lieu of plastic-laced labeling.most vodkas use some paperless, plastic-less labeling.but the main boast is about what's inside the bottle. tru,from California claims to plant a tree for every bottle of vodka it sells, uses 25 percent less glass than traditional bottles in its packaging, and packs in fold-together boxes that don't require any tape.360 Vodka uses recycled glass.i enjoy read it but i think it is no a good solution to make organic vodka but is to quit to drink alcohol.that is more eco-friendly and more healthy.
