Old cars? Bicycled!

"Bicycled"! No typo error here. That is a new word I picked up today because that is the way Lola Madrid named bikes made out of cars found at the junkyard. Teachers, take note, "bicycled" is now acceptable in and out of class.

Skip your way to power

While we can't fly up, up, up and away like Superman, there is a way for us to skip, skip, skip our way into power; battery power, that is.

Check out Kyung Guk Lee's "E-Rope", a skipping rope innovation that can work to fully recharge four batteries while you skip and burn off some fat.  20 minutes is all it takes to change the LED lights on the side of the skipping rope handle from red to blue to indicate that you have fully charge  the batteries.



Let's skip, skip, skip our way into power!

See $ in coconut shells?

What can one do with dehusked coconut shells in Asian countries, where the consumption of coconut flesh and its milk is high?


Iyan has an idea.  He processed them to sell.  Take a look at the end product.


Want to make a guess as to what Iyan's staff  are making out of the otherwise discarded husk?


Did you get it right?  These are COCONUT SHELL CHARCOAL!


Iyan is definitely creating abundance ($) from the abandoned by selling them as Coconut Cocolabrico!


What other green ventures is Iyan into?  I will let you know in the next posting.
