Launched today, this amazing new Scooter costs under £1000 and buyers can also save on the rising costs of petrol as its eight pence per charge from your home electric socket and one charge will get you 30-40 miles.

The Scoota has been bought over from China where it already sells 13million a year. Londoners will be able to save on congestion charge and parking fees and there are a number of free charge points around the city.

Ingenious usage for old water bottles from Brazil. Pierce the ceiling and let the natural sunlight disperse and flood the room!

It’s in Portuguese, but you can get the idea for the concept from watching it.

my cute cat…conserving energy?

Posted by CharlesC on Jun-3-2009

My cute cat goes green!

COMMENT A CAPTION (to describe the video in LOLcat style).

I’ll get it started: “Conservation cat is conserving your energies.”

For those who are concerned, thanks! But please allow me to point out that:

1) His mouth is nowhere near the exposed prongs. If it’s plugged in…all he can grab is the plastic part of the plug.

2) Outlets are designed such that if you are able to reach an exposed prong, the plug is likely no longer in the socket seat (no power).

3) Regardless of points 1 and 2, except for this video, I keep my plugs safely taped to the wall.

And for those that asked, yes, I wrote the background music…I wanted to commemorate my little friend.

If you like the tune, I posted the mp3 here: http://www.galtmusic.com/mp3/download.html
