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.

How about gift-giving accompanied by the knowledge that your gift is also a gifts for the planet? There’s more to green gifting than just switching to the stuff with the “green” label, however. Here are some pointers for finding the right gifts that make everyone happy.

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.

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.
