Going Green
Links Listing Info ( from WidipediA: ) - Hypermiling is a term used in North America that refers to a set of techniques used to maximize fuel economy. Those who practice the techniques are referred to as "hypermilers." The term was originally coined by Wayne Gerdes, who is considered by the media to be one of the top hypermilers in the world, and is known to hold the record for gas mileage in some common vehicles, including 30 miles per gallon (mpg) in an Acura MDX and 59 mpg in a Honda Accord.
( from www.hypermiling.com ) - What is hypermiling? According to a a fantastic August 2006 story in the Washington Post, it is a method of increasing your car's gas mileage by making skillful changes in the way you drive, allowing you to save gas and thereby have an easier time withstanding the rising oil and gas prices.
Easy on the gas when starting from a stand still. And, stopping. Especially around town.
Coasting up to a light or stop sign can save gas.
Drive the speed limit. 55mph vs. 60mph save 5mpg. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas.
Combine errands.
Pull through a parking spot to avoid having to back out when leaving.
Drafting. Not like NASCAR, but following close behind a truck cuts wind resistance. Just leave 3 secs for responding to potential situations.
Time your stop lights.
This is on of the best things to use.

Links Info Bamboo has been used for Erosion Control and Water Treatment, Toys, Floors, Food, Paper, Traditional Chinese Medicine and much more...
Bamboo is the main food of the Giant Panda; it makes up 99% of the Panda's diet.
(from the American Bamboo Society's Web site ) - Bamboo is just grass, but it varies in height from dwarf, one foot (30 cm) plants to giant timber bamboos that can grow to over 100 feet (30 m). It grows in many different climates, from jungles to high on mountainsides. Bamboos are further classified by the types of roots they have. Some, called runners, spread exuberantly, and others are classified as clumpers, which slowly expand from the original planting. There are also varieties of root systems that are a mixture of these types. Generally, the tropical bamboos tend to be clumpers and the temperate bamboos tend to be runners.
