Shifting Into Green: A Holding Company For Green Design
by John Laumer, Philadelphia on 12.10.05
GreenShift Corporation recently launched an industrial design initiative to deliver cost-efficient and environmentally proactive 'greengineered' solutions. These services are administered by GreenShift Industrial Design Corporation ("GIDC"), a privately held GreenShift portfolio company. GreenShift expects GIDC to acquire, develop and market green technologies and to generate revenue initially from royalties, the sale of specific products and technologies, and greengineering services to third party clients. The current portfolio includes investments in several "green" enterprises. One of them disributes carbon nano-tubes, as represented in this graphic. See the full list below.

We were tempted to include TreeHugger.com on this list a pre-Christmas joke. But that may have required the presence of more engineers on the writing staff and we're not sure the readership could weather the change of Climate.
I think that Terrapass is a scam.
I have a 1987 Honda Accord Automatic, the CO2 calulator says it creates 200 lbs a day of CO2. 200 freakin lbs. I don't even burn that weight of gas in a day, so how the hell do they come up with this figure?
Watch out for these guys this seems like pretty unreliable data.

The TerraPass website explains that: We "multiply the number of gallons of gas by 19.5 to figure out how many pounds of carbon dioxide your car puts out....– but remember that when fuel burns, it combines with oxygen in the air and becomes a lot heavier".
