Latest Solar Paneled Bus Sheds
Posted in Designer, Eco-Friendly, Uncategorized on 25 August 2008

That day is not far-off when nations all over the world would be exploiting renewable solar energy for their every single trade. Bearing pros of this naturally on hand solar resource in psyche one step ahead has been forwarded in this green area by a Miami’s based media company recognized as Fuel Outdoor based in Miami, LLC.

This green media company is actually setting up to mount specifically designed solar panels on 600 bus shelters existing in Miami. This perfectly environmental and energy saving mission would salt away around two tons of detrimental carbon dioxide secretions along with supplying power to the advertisement panels found on bus sheds.

Although it looks as if an unruffled project yet the city authorities need to put constraints and check around these solar powered bus shelters keeping in view the security and safekeeping of these valued solar boards. I just hope that Miami’s people may soon work out the line of attack to scuffle against this setback so that the worth of this concept could be extended globally.

Posted in Designer, Eco-Friendly, Green, Products, Recycling on 20 August 2008

In this day and age little kids would also be connecting to ecological and recyclable objects by means of freshly launched set of Dante Beatrix’s eco bags. The intact variety of these green bags labeled as “Big Kid Eco Pack” is crafted out of nylon which in turn is attained from cast-off plastic material water bottles.
Designers claim that this newly evolved green bag manufacturing technique would wipe out around seven16oz bottles from the milieu as altogether environmental and biodegradable matter is exploited for its imaging and grooming. However the beauty of this fashionable bag doesn’t lie merely in its outward appearance and its green aspect but in its seizing capability as well.

Doomed for kids in the age group of five to ten years this hefty and stocky bag is so voluminous that it can grapple an adequate amount of kid’s belongings and chattels such as books, notebooks, lunchbox or even non didactic stuff like video games too. Besides this further striking facet is that this elite bag series is offered in three different themes i.e. peace, love and recycling and accordingly three different designs for them.

Although this Dante Beatrix’s office (managed by three designers and a canine) is originally sited in Manhattan but its products are available worldwide and we may possibly get them by simply demanding online.

Revolutionary Eco Air Planes
Posted in Environment, Fuel, Green on 15 August 2008

Superbly crafted four new airplanes have recently exhibited their green and marvelous specialties in an inimitable air race organized by NASA at Santa Rosa (California). In this only one of its kind race each plane was striving hard to prove it best in terms of swiftness and speed as well as fuel competency and effectiveness. Moreover the competing planes were also focusing on lower noise levels for creating a calm and quiet environment.  Amongst the four planes, Greg and Geoff Stevenson’s DA-20, an extremely resourceful and ecofriendly plane consumes bio-diesel as secondary power for landing and taking off. Also it embraces an electric motor and fuel injection mechanism for extra fuel efficiency and noise free ambiance.

Another one in the series is Pipistrel Virus which offers excellent noise balancing and fuel competency via a steady propeller speed switch. Remaining two air planes which participated in the race were: UFM-13 Lambada which has prevailed lowest noise award at 62 db and the Flight Design CT which is also embedded with extra green features like motorcycle muffler and noise dampening panels. Hence loaded with enormously advanced and green technology these lately launched eco planes in air would definitely offset inestimable environmental afflictions.

The New Museum of Contemporary Art displays ‘After Nature’
Posted in Earth, Eco Art, Environment on 19 July 2008


The summers of New York City are becoming hot with the scorching art pieces displayed at The New Museum of Contemporary Arts. The latter these days, houses a  provocative and environmentally charged exhibition-”After Nature” show (named so after W.G. Sebald’s visionary book with the same title).

This exhibition displays the thoughtful and creative work of twenty-six multigenerational artists, filmmakers, writers and outsiders. Many of these workers are showcasing their work for the first time in an American museum. The exhibits are lined-up on the museum’s three floors.

The paintings from these distinguished artists draw their inspiration from heterogeneous sources. They seem to unfold before or eyes like a brilliantly written taut novel and with force capture our attention for their ‘raw’ appeal.

The press release sums it up as “a story of abandonment, regression, and rapture”. The paintings being an “epic of humanity coming apart under the pressure of obscure forces and not-so-distant environmental disasters”.

 This eco-feverish exhibition (organized by Massimiliano Gioni) is a must see for its communion of artists like Werner Herzog, Zoe Leonard, William Christenberry, Roberto Cuoghi, Erik van Lieshout, Diego Perrone, Thomas Schütte, Dana Schutz, Tino Sehgal, August Strindberg, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein, and Nathalie Djurberg to name a few.
