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. The new perky look conjures a miniature wave (or is it a fin?) in a brilliant blue color and, like the original, it tells accurate time without the need for batteries or an electrical cord. A squeeze of lemon...

by Tisha Leung Swedish paper manufacturer Whitelines's new collection of handsome notebooks feature white-ruled lines instead of standard blue or black on a light gray, non-glare paper. Their concept is simple: dark lines distract, white lines don't.
