Air Car Runs on Compressed Air
The air car is ready for mass production, according to an article on Yahoo written by Bob Ewing. The car is supposed to run on air, yes, it's true! But unless you live in India or Asia, you might never get to see it. The air car would supposedly never survive North America's crash tests.

What's the catch? The air car uses compressed air to push its engine pistons. Refueling is easy, if you're near a gas station that has a compressed air machine, that is. However, it will only cost about two dollars to refill. If you don't live near a compressed air machine, you can do it yourself, but that will take about four hours.

Cons?? To me it sounds like a pretty neat little car, but, like I said, you'll need to be a compressed air machine. Also, while the car puts off only air, fossil fuels will be used to create the electricity for refueling with compressed air (of course, it's still better than our fuel-chugging cars). And this little air car might never be seen in the United States, where I am, because it is light weight and has glued-together fiberglass construction. That's not all. It goes no faster than 68 miles per hour, and its driving range is 125 miles before it gives out.

What do I think? While it's not the ideal car for most people, I'd love to have one! Not only will it be cleaner and save a lot more energy (hurray for doing out with global warming!), but it also sounds like a real money saver.

I found an awesome blog (it even has the same layout as this one, but not for long, as Out With Global Warming will be getting an update soon...) called These Come From Trees. The first thing that I saw on their blog showed these quick facts, and I'd like to share them with you:

  1. A typical fast food restaurant with two bathrooms can use up to 2000 pounds of paper towels a year
  2. The average coffee shop uses 1000 pounds of paper towels a year
  3. A single tree produces around 100 pounds of paper
  4. Roughly 50,000 fast food restaurants in the US
  5. 200,000 gas stations in the US
  6. 14,000 McDonalds' in the US
  7. There are 10,000 Starbucks in the US

Scary, isn't it? Click here to see more. Basically their project is to have stickers for their cause, and when people purchase these stickers, each sticker helps to save about one tree's worth of paper each year. I think it's a fantastic cause and right down our alley! Out With Global Warming isn't just about global warming but caring for the world ;)

Scientists used to be saying that global warming is real, and that people are causing it by their irresponsibility. But now, scientists are going against the popular scientific assessment of global warming. Climate scientists all agree that temperatures have risen in the past decades, but a small number of scientists disagree with the conclusion that global warming is from human activity.

What does Out With Global Warming think? We still stay true to what we believe! Global warming IS caused by humans. Mind you, only a small percentage of scientists think otherwise. Think about it... What's the coincidence that the lifestyle of people and our resourcefulness has changed these past decades, AND the temperatures are going up? Right. It's not a coincidence.

People need to stop being so wasteful and dirty and start cleaning up after theirselves. Imagine all the little babies that are being born today. What do they have to look forward to? When they're all grown up, there may be no pretty places on the earth left. We've got to start taking care of our world.

I'm happy to say I've began my project I've been longing to start. It's called the Tree Hugging Project, and you can view the blog by clicking the link --> Tree Hugging Project. I don't know why I started this, but I think it's very cool. It's not just about being one with nature, but it's also about having something to do, having a project to work on.

Each day (or almost everyday, maybe every few days), a new picture will be posted with someone interacting lovingly with a tree. Hugging, kissing, stroking, you get the picture, eh?

So check it out and maybe add it to your favorites. Not only are trees shown some love, but you might have some fun looking through the pictures of all the different people hugging different trees. The site is brand new though, so, there aren't a lot of photos yet. But each day there will be a new one, so bookmark the Tree Hugging Project, and revisit it daily!
