    Green Elegance Weddings Newsletter - April 2006

    I'm helping my friend Thais find wedding dresses. It's not easy, especially if you add on the "green" factor.

    Quoted: So, where do you start to find the beautiful gown that you're seeking for your most special of days? There are a couple of basic approaches to being environmentally, socially, and stylishly responsible in your wedding dress search. One is to select new garments made of eco-friendly fabrics, constructed in sweatshop-free factories or home-sewn. The other is to choose beautifully unique items that have been previously worn.

    Boeing hydrogen plane set to lift off - Sunday Times - Times Online

    At 70mph it would make a badass commuter plane. Er..., for the rich (and famous) of course. The rest of us will probably bus and bike and fly normal planes for a looong time.

    Quoted: BOEING is developing a light aircraft powered by fuel cells and electric motors, making it potentially the greenest plane ever to fly.

    Quoted: It would emit no carbon dioxide, the main gas blamed for global warming, or other pollutants, leaving just a trail of water. It would also be almost completely silent. The hitch? It would fly at only 70mph.

    Hugg / Vegetable Oil Powered Motorcyle

    But will they make motorcycles for short riders?

    Quoted: EVAProducts' motorcyle website says that their diesel motorcyle will run on vegetable oil. The Dutch company's site says that they will be taking orders for the Track Dieselpowered Motorcycle in October 2006. It doesn't look like they have a complete bike yet, the pictures of it are all computer generated. They have a short video clip of an incomplete bike being started up. I hope this is for real. EVAProducts lists on their main website some other very ambitious fields of interest.

    Treehugger: London Architecture Biennale: A Knitted House

    I briefly considered taking up knitting to pass the time on the bus, then I realized I often fall asleep while reading, so I would fall asleep while knitting too, which sounds like imminent bodily injuries.
