I saw this article the other day on MSN and wanted to post about it because it mentions the car I drive. The Toyota Prius hybrid. The picture is Toyotas 1/x hybrid, a concept vehicle made of bioplastics and seaweed.
Toyota's 1/x hybrid concept, whose bioplastic exterior contains seaweed, has the same interior space as a Prius, but weighs only 926 pounds - about one- third the weight of a Prius - and aims to double its fuel efficiency.
The article talks about different car manufacutres using more sustainable materials to make cars with. I thought it was a step in the right direction, making cars a bit more earth friendly in the long run.
Here's the article for further poking around. A Car Made Out of What?
