Schwinn Pedals into the Hybrid Bike Market

January 21, 2009

Good news for lazy bikers! Sometime in February, Schwinn will be launching its first foray into the pedal-assisted hybrid bike market. Their first e-bike frame will be named (appropriately) the Tailwind, and with its user-friendly, fast charging battery system made by Toshiba, it’s certain to be one of the most low maintenance hybrid two wheelers around — pretty much the polar opposite of the 48V Flat Tracker.

If you’re into the whole pedal-assist concept, it sounds like Schwinn has w…

January 16, 2009

If what we’ve learned that week is true (which it’s almost certainly not whether you do the math) that two Google searches produces about 7 grams of CO2 — about as much boiling a tea kettle full of water — Burger King’s recent Whopper Sacrifice Facebook app just snuffed out quite a few tea kettles. In case you were’nt familiar with it, the very savvy Facebook marketing ploy had users deleting 10 Facebook friends to earn a free Whopper.

The best part is, not only were friends being sacrifice…

TV Recycling For The DTV Switchover

January 15, 2009

What’s going to happen to all those old analog TVs which will become obsolete when the nation switches by to digital? The environmental activists campaigning outside the Consumer Electronics Show in LA last week had one reply: analog TVs will end up toxic zombie space-suckers in our landfills. (After everyone tries to give theirs away on Craigslist, that is.)

Some good news about that is that a couple of major TV manufacturers have instituted programs to recycle old sets. Sony, Samsung, a…

DIY Laptop Sleeves From Random Stuff

January 14, 2009

If you have a laptop in need of some covering, Planet Green has put together a nifty list of some DIY solutions. Don’t cheat and go buy new stuff to manufacture these - that wouldn’t be very green of you at all.

Place mats sewn together to house your technology. I could see cloth napkins or an old table cloth too. In fact, I have an old table cloth and my laptop has no cover.
Cardboard and duct tape for those of you that don’t. Depending on what type of cardboard you have it could b…
