PlanetTran Hybrid Car Service: San Francisco Bay Area by Ami Kealoha
Recent years have seen OZOcar in NYC, ecoigo and green tomato in London, an Ecolimo in Melbourne and an (unrelated) Ecolimo serving NYC, S.F., Washington D.C. and Los Angeles. Just last week PlanetTran introduced the first fleet of Priuses for hire to the San Francisco Bay Area. (They launched their Boston service in 2003.) Serving Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco airports, like OZOcar the Priuses are equipped with WiFi, adding convenience to an eco-friendly ride.

Bedol Eco-Friendly Water Drop Clock
by Julie Wolfson An example of function-inspired form, the Bedol Water Clock takes the water-powered capabilities of the original and adds a new drop-shaped design.

A squeeze of lemon...
