Green world=green garage?
From offsetting your carbon footprints to neutralizing emissions we dont stop hearing about the environment nowadays do we? Despite the fact I have never really understood any of the terminology it has become most frightfully tiresome and rather a bore. I think the last straw was when I heard about the cow farting emission gag. I honestly thought it was one big April fools joke. But apparently not cows do fart and enough of em will emit harmful gasses to the atmosphere. Well there you have it; the answer is eat more beef. Which in turn will use more energy to cook cause more flatulence amongst humans who will die anyway of mad cow disease. Today Id like to talk you about green garages. One of my favourite days of the year is Earth Day this auspicious occasion comes and goes each year on the March Equinox and is a day to remind folks on earth that This day is devoted to the preservation of the harmony in nature and yet draws upon the triumphs of technology the measurement of time and instantaneous communication through space. I rest my case. Garages on the other hand are very real. Maintaining a good garage can be beneficial to your lively hood wellbeing and pocket not to mention the E word.
To make your garage more Efriendly here are a few tips:
1. Leave your car in the garage.
Dont use your car to commutetake the train! If you have public transport use it! If it sucks like it does where I live. Use it and file complaints about it.
2. Leave your mower in the garage.
Let your grass grow longer. For a while longer that iswe dont want to attract snakes.
3. Ride your bike.
Use your bike to go shopping or just walk where you not only get to exercise I know you need itbut you get to be friendly to E whilst saving money. Perfect!
4. Insulate your garage.

Is Volvo Leaving Its Comfort Zone?
Is Volvo Leaving Its Comfort Zone?
Volvos design of their cars in the past can be summed up in one word boxy. The past models of the company known for producing safe cars can be easily identified by their boxy appearance. The reason behind the design concept is to ensure the safety of the cars occupants thus both the body and the chassis are made tough to the point that it does not command high aesthetic value. But the trend has been changing for the past ten years the company has now been producing cars which bear no resemblance to the boxy designs of the past models. This is done without sacrificing the safety standards of the cars being produced.
The evolution in the design of the companys mass produced cars is due to its goal of catching the attention of younger buyers which value the good looks of a car as much as its interior designing and performance level. The companys top designer Simon Lamarre is continuing the companys drive to produce stylish cars which are aimed at the Generation Y consumers which are categorically those buyers between 25 and 35 years of age. Mr. Lamarre is the genius behind the companys newest addition to the companys lineup the compact sedan Volvo C30. The car was recently unveiled at the Montreal International Auto Show for which the Ford Motor Company owned brand was absent for the past couple of years.
The Volvo C30 was the star of the companys show at the auto show. It has been created and displayed as a twodoor hatchback with an exterior design that does not show any boxiness in contrast to the past models of the car manufacturer. The car is the first outing of the company in the premium compact car market and this car is going against tough competition in the class. Its competition includes the Audi A3 the Mini Cooper the Mazda3 and the Volkswagen GTI. The company is counting on the cars stylish exterior design to get a large portion of the market in its class after all the safety of the car is already a given. The manufacturers strong selling point is the cars performance level enhanced by Volvo performance chips and various high performance parts.
The cars design have already received much praise from the automotive industry and this can only help the companys bid for a share in the luxury compact car market. The design has been touted some of the best smallcar architecture in the world right now by James Sanfilippo who is the executive vicepresident and senior analyst with AMCI an auto consultant which is based in Michigan. This shows that the entire decade of the companys efforts to develop a design that will attract the attention of younger buyers was not in vain. The car is designed to hook up its prospective younger clientele to be loyal to the brand thus increasing the chances of the companys earning more profits for the oncoming future.
The step made by the company outside its comfort zone is aimed to make profit a feat they have not been able to accomplish in the past years. It is hoped that a new generation of car buyers will be turned on by the stylish designs of the newer models and its already impressive safety standards.
