All Electric Prius


Lucious Garage, http://www.lusciousgarage.com/, a San Francisco based company, is now converting Prius to all electric. They offer many different types of conversions, one with up to 20 MPG on all electric power.

In addition to making an impact on cars, they are also woman owned, operate in a solar powered facility, and are environmentally responsible.

I just learned about them from their front page listing on CNN. They have also been featured on the Jim Lehrer news hour. I think that they are getting "slash dotted" right now, so you might want to check them out tomorrow.

So, if you live in the bay area, let them pimp your ride.

Amazon Starts a Green Section.

Amazon.com, a top online retailer, as begun a new green category to help promote better products. As we have said before, reuse is the best way to go. Have you checked out your local free cycle group, http://www.freecycle.org/ , or the free section of Craig's List http://www.craigslist.org/zip ? If you have, and you must by new, check out the new green area of Amazon. Within their green store you will find products by Seventh Generation, Sunforce batter chargers, tire gauges, Certified Organic Grocery products and Energy Star rated products.



They don't have everything, but we applaud the effort.
