UPS adds to its green fleet

Mar 28th 2008 10:13PM on Green Daily

Given that CNG is a fossil-based, non-renewable, and relatively inefficient fuel, I fail to see how this is a positive development.

If the trucks are diesel, switching over to biodiesel would be a much better "green" initiative.

Verizon whines to FCC: make it easier for us to gain market share

Mar 26th 2008 1:08PM on Engadget

Anything that will make it easier to switch from Verizon sounds good to me--they have to be one of the worst companies on the planet!

Green by the Numbers: Future of green jobs offer economic prosperity

Feb 4th 2008 8:35PM on Green Daily

It's also interesting to think about which regions will benefit the most from emerging renewable technology. Probably places that have R&D and manufacturing infrastructure, for example western Pennsylvania.

Go green six feet under

I love the idea of planting a tree over my grave--it's all about the circle of life!

Mine is leaving my computer on all the time...I just can't seem to break myself of the habit!

GreenFinance: Putting the green in clean

Nov 27th 2007 8:15PM on Green Daily

One of the other things about natural cleaning products, though, is that they are easy to make yourself! This doesn't help sales, but I'm sure there are enough people out there not interested in making their own cleaning concoctions to support growth in this sector.

Eco-friendly concrete countertops

Nov 15th 2007 6:38PM on Green Daily

Another reason this is a great option is shown in the picture--since it's concrete, you can make custom shapes and build grooves right into the countertop. Nice idea.

This or That: Diesel Cars vs. Hybrid Cars

Nov 12th 2007 9:36AM on Green Daily

In terms of raw emissions, hybrids are better diesel, but production of disposal of the hybrid batteries needs to also be considered. Batteries have lots of nasty things in them, like corrosive chemicals and heavy metals, and the mining/production of them produces more nasty stuff.

Would you pay more for eco-friendly electricity?

Nov 10th 2007 1:33PM on Green Daily

It might be the DIYer in me, but I'd much rather invest in putting alternative energy sources, like solar panels, on my home itself!

We should be careful about government subsidies, though--if they are too steep, they may stifle innovation in green technologies.

New laws call for no lights at night

Nov 7th 2007 7:49PM on Green Daily

In some cities with observatories, the streetlights are all yellow so they interfere less with observing the night sky. It seems like all street lights should be solar-powered with LEDs, and it would be easy to make those yellow LEDs for less interference.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
