EnviroCAB
Posted by cjackso6
My experience in the nation’s capital has been so exciting. I noticed that a lot of things in the city are environmentally friendly. When I first seen the enviroCAB I was knew I had to post it on the web. It was uniquely designed and its great for people who want to preserve the environment. I believe this company will have a lot of business because I notice in Washington, DC people like to help out with a great cause. I think this enviroCAB should expand its business to large cities with high pollution rates.
EnviroCAB is the nation’s first all-hybrid taxicab. The fleet of hybrid Toyota Priuses, Camrys and Highlanders and Ford Escapes guarantees passengers environmentally-friendly taxicab service at no additional cost (standard taxicab fares apply).
enviroCAB is the first carbon-negative taxicab company in the world. Fresh AIRE initiative, enviroCAB is:
• the first taxicab company within the Washington, D.C. region to put a fleet on the road comprised entirely of fuel-efficient, low-emission hybrid vehicles.
• the first taxicab company in the U.S. to completely offset its own emissions by purchasing “clean-source” offset credits.
• the world’s first carbon-negative taxicab service by offsetting the emissions of 100 of the approximately 685 non-hybrid taxis operating in Arlington,Va.
enviroCAB will emit 2.3 million pounds of carbon dioxide less than similarly sized standard taxi vehicles, and will offset an additional 1.5 million pounds of carbon dioxide emission for its fleet to be carbon neutral. By purchasing “clean-source” offset credits, enviroCAB will become carbon-negative by offsetting another 7.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of 100 older, fuel inefficient taxis.
The taxicab company is already providing service to all major airports for many corporate clients who are “going green.”

UnNatural Cooling Of The Earth
Posted by Brittney D.
Today I was reading an article from C net news.com posted by Martin LaMonica, about cooling the planet with injections. I don’t think that would be such a great idea, and apparently the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) doesn’t think so either. The name of the article is “Geoengineered cooling of planet would have ‘perilous effects’ ”
