That’s right, folks, it’s movie time. So sit back, relax, and get ready for some surious learning as Amory Lovins narrates this neato video about Hypercars. All you have to do is ; look, here he is now:
Fun Facts about Hypercars
- Very light weight, very strong (carbon fiber, the same as Formula One race cars)
- Less wind resistance
- More efficient electric accessories (A/C, CD player, etc.)
- Increase fuel efficiency dramatically
- Windows let in light, but not heat (reducing need for A/C)
Amory says it’s possible we’ll see hypercars on the market within 4 to 5 years. Hopefully my car can hold out that long, then I’ll spring for a crazy efficient hypercar and watch my gas savings pile up.

“Youch, my dry, scaly feet!” Have you said/thought this recently? Do you fancy that people make fun of your ashy, crackly, grotesquely dry feet? Dry your tears, for I am about to solve your problem…
Simply CLICK HERE to gechoself a completely free sample of organic foot cream from Gilden Tree! Here is what they have to say about their (apparently) wonderful cream:
Our Nourishing Foot Cream is an organic, aloe-based formula that’s intensely moisturizing and softening. It nurtures feet naturally and we think it’s the best foot cream made.
Well hot dang, if that didn’t convince you to try it, then nothing will. I’m looking forward to rubbing a whole bunch of free organic foot cream all over my feet, wahoo.

This made the front page of Care2, vote for it yo
Since me n’ Tiff bought and moved into our bodacious townhome last summer, we’ve changed a lot about it. A big thing we changed was the kitchen; with the help of Leon, Bil-lay, and 10, we took out a lot of old and put in a lot of used (new for us) things. I saved a lot of what we took out (nails, wood, etc.), and have reused those materials to make some new things.
For Valentines’ Day, I made Tiff a kitchen island with these saved materials. I started with not much, but with a lil’ gumption and elbow grease, the kitchen island was completed. Here is its story…
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. With this handy advice in my noggin, I drew out the plans for the island. I wanted to make it the same height as our counters, and also make sure that there was enough room for our trash can to fit in it. Before I show you my plans, please remember that they are copyrighted, so if you copy them I’ll sue your pants off.

Perchance, as you check out in a grocery store, you’ve stopped and wished that you had a reusable cloth bag to put your groceries in, instead of flimsy plastic bags. Once you’ve unpacked all your groceries at your abode, you look around and fight back tears as you take in the mountain of empty plastic bags. Is there no way to avoid all that plastic clutter?
Maybe you’ve heard that a lot of people are using reusable tote bags, but you can’t afford one. But wait; if you can afford “free”, then you can afford a reusable cloth bag. Here’s how:
Click HERE to take a short conservation quiz. If you finish it successfully, you’ll be sent a free reusable tote bag in June. So get ready to kiss your plastic bag proliferation problem goodbye.
