I noticed a sign by a new development today for the company “Trees Matter” who come and relocate trees rather than chopping them down. Make sure you watch the “tree moving in action” video, the small boy inside me is awed by the big clever machine (I wish I had one as a kid).

The LA Auto Show is home to the largest west coast display of cutting edge vehicular design and engineering. Every year the show opens its design challenge to any automaker that feels like they are up for flexing their creative muscle. This year’s theme, “Motorsports 2025″ has car designers looking at the future of competitive racing, but with considerably fewer emissions. Hot on the heels of Practivism, ‘Green’ design is everywhere and the results at this year’s show will leave you with your jaw on the floor. Whether its Honda’s homage to the Robotech, or Mitsubishi’s omnidirectional rally car (my personal favorite), each car has been designed from the ground up with Mother Nature serving as the Project Manager. Need a co-pilot? Check out BMW’s Salt Flats Racer whose commitment to running as clean as possible, requires the driver to keep the fish tank (with live fish) mounted on the dorsal side of the vehicle alive. Maybe its time for me to revisit my 4th grade sketch book, that hot dog fueled rocket car may not be such a bad idea after all.

Jack Godfrey Wood’s Whole House-Off Switch is a single button that can turn off of the unnecessary power in the house –lights, tv, etc.– while leaving the essentials running. Not only does this aid us absent minded types, but it is also earth friendly — which tends to be the ticket to the dance these days…
