Perspective Shift: Greener Cars From Treehugger

This week at TreeHugger: As we get a deeper look into BMW's Hydrogen 7 and a report from behind the wheel, the DOE paints a more realistic picture of when we'll see hydrogen cars crawling our freeways. TreeHugger's How to Green Your Life series takes on of our greatest love/hates, the personal automobile. While Prius sales droop uncharacteristically in China, the country looks forward to its first homemade hybrid. The midterm elections helped green up the government a bit, but even with new House leadership, auto mileage standards are likely to go untouched. Pussy Galore is artist Chris Gilmore's hand built Aston Martin—and yes, it's made entirely from garbage. For the price of a decent car you can get yourself some pod appeal in a carbon-fiber, cycle-powered Velopcipede.
