On Wednesday the NYPD introduced their new and eco-friendly patrol cars with the addition of Ford Fusion hybrids.

Of the new fleet, Mayor Bloomberg stated, “These vehicles use less fuel and emit fewer pollutants into the air we breathe.”

The Fusion hybrids will gradually be replacing all the 3,000 gas-guzzling Chevy Impalas that regularly patrol New York’s streets.

Way to go NYC!

I have horrible light indoors for plants with all this sunshine, which is why I’m stoked about Ori Mishkal’s newly designed Inverted Green Planter Table that takes that particular problem out of the equation.

The great thing about ferns is that they don’t require light to flourish. The best thing about this side table is that it’s also an inverted planter that gives a fern shady space to grow. And this particular table, designed by Ori Mishkal, introduces plant life into your home without taking up valuable tabletop real estate.

We’d like to see these in our houses, pronto. We’d try the DIY approach, but we have a feeling it’d be (a lot) messier than this one.

Located in the Bay Area a semi-new business is taking off and turning heads.  City CarShare allows members to choose a car of their choice from the CarShare website, reserve it and drive it away, all for a matter of a couple bucks a day.

For around $45 per month the City CarShare membership gives users the option to borrow an Element for a couple of hours for that Trader Joe’s run or a stop into Ikea with a packed-out SUV.

Sounds like a steal of a green deal to us!  Now you don’t even have to own a car to get around and in the house with groceries!
