Volkswagen's Jetta TDI-the green car of the year

Volkswagen's Jetta TDI is considered to be the new green car of the year 2009.It got all new facilities and the green features that one car could ever get at this point of time.




The 2009 Volkswagen Jetta TDI is the latest evolution of VW’s 30-plus years of diesel investment in the North American automotive market. This car is clean enough to meet the most stringent and hard current emissions standards, allowing sale in all 50 U.S. states, including those adopting California clean air standards. And modern clean diesel engines are easy to operate and live with, quiet, and smooth and are mostly adorable.



Fuel economy will be the primary motivation or key feature one looking into when buying a Jetta TDI. EPA estimates are 30 mpg city and 41 mpg highway with the manual transmission. Independent third party testing by AMCI found real world economy to be 24 percent higher, delivering 38 mpg in the city and 44 mpg on the highway.



The 2.0 liter TDI produces 140 horsepower at 4,000 rpm and more importantly, 236 lbs-ft of torque that’s available from just 1,750 rpm.
With the five-speed manual, the Jetta posts a 0-60 mph time of 8.2 seconds. The six-speed DSG automatic transmission with Tipronic and Sport mode will hit 60 mph in 8.5 seconds.




Jetta TDI is able to meet 50 states emissions without the added complexity of AdBlue urea injection in the exhaust system to neutralize NOx emissions. Advanced catalytic converter technology, a NOx catalyst that temporarily stores NOx emissions and then burns them off , and a diesel particulate filter allow the Jetta TDI to meet the most stringent Tier 2 – Bin 5 emissions standard. The 2.0 liter can operate on B5 biodiesel without complaint.

The car comes out with a reasonable price of $21,990, which can be considered a good choice for a new car.Obviously it got good resale value.The Jetta comes with the TDI engine which costs around $1,300 .

Lelo Elise Vibrator-sex be in green way

Welcome to the world of new great sex.Some of you will be just buy some sex toys or vibrators just by looking their price tags whether they are cheap or not.But no one is interested in the quality or the dangers of using any vibrators.Here we introduce to you one of the best vibrators in the market.Let it be in the green way now.

The Swedish-designed Elise vibrator is ergonomically designed to suit the natural curves of your body, meaning it hits all your hot spots -- clitoral, G-spot or full-body. The top is made from medical-grade silicone and the handle from double-coated rigid PC-ABS, a blend of plastics, which means that this toy is toxin-free.It is completely green.The stem is endowed with two individually powered pleasure points, and it has five programmed stimulation modes based on the lengthwise interaction between base and crown pleasure points.You can choose the vibe setting to match your mood, either taking it slow and focusing on your G-spot, or quickening the tempo and vibe strength for full-body sensations.The Elise is controlled by an interface dial that changes the vibe pattern or strength of vibration.


This device need not have any batteries as these are rechargeable.That is no more waste batteries exposed in the earth surface.Once charged you can go continuously for 4 hours of fun.Its amazing to deal with it especially with the new design.The materials used by the vibrator is completely recyclable,another green point.

Only disadvantage is that its not water proof.You should carefully use the stuff and make sure that you use water based lubricant with it.The second is that it is little expensive than other competitors in the market.But it shows its quality for the price.It costs around 89 pounds.But no one will get any better vibrator that too green in that price .

Ford Focus ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi Duratorq Diesel

Ford Focus ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi Duratorq Diesel can be considered as the no.1 green car of this year.This is not entirely a green car as it suggests.But it gives us a trend into the green convergence from the makers like Ford.

The Focus is the first model in the diesel ECOnetic range, the name Ford has given to its new range of low CO2 models that will be rolled out to the Mondeo later this year and the Fiesta in 2009.The Focus has CO2 emissions of only 115g/km (65.6mpg on a combined test) and, with a diesel particulate filter fitted as standard on the 110PS engine, a WGC? rating of only 33.The engineering behind ECOnetic includes a recalibrated engine management system, and an improved aero-profile (the car is almost 1 cm closer to the ground compared with a regular Focus). Together with a lower grille and new front bumper skirt, a rear spoiler and slimmer low rolling resistance tyres, the aerodynamic drag coefficient is reduced to 0.31.In conjunction with EcoBoost that combines petrol direct injection and turbo-charging technology to improve vehicle fuel economy, the ECOnetic range is part of Ford's response to growing demand for more fuel efficient models.Interestingly the emissions improvements are achieved without fitting longer gear ratios (as adopted by the VW BlueMotion and BMW EfficientDynamics models). The results of these changes for the Focus ECOnetic 109PS is CO2 emissions of only 115g/km (65.6mpg on a combined test cycle) and a WGC? rating lower than the bench-mark Prius hybrid.


Priced from £16,545 (about £250 above the Style model with the same engine).Although it's worse for local air pollution, it actually beats the Prius for real-world miles per gallon. Meanwhile, the driving experience is smooth and the interior is quality.Let us hope more from all the car makers in a better wawy to help something about our environment and the nature.

Ausus EcoBook-The new green trend




Wow.....is it the exclamation you give when you first see this??? Ya this is the new notebook of Ausus called Ausus Ecobook.The main feature of this notebook is as the name suggest it is an eco friendly one.It use mainly bamboo finishing as you can see in the picture.Bamboo can be replenished frequently as it is grown extensively.It helps to reduce the wastage and additional use and pressure on the non-renewable and hazardous hardwares...plastics chosen to manufacture the EcoBook come from recyclable raw materials.Paper is also being used to build the computer enclosure from a form of stiffened card sa shown below.



An LED indicator below the screen changes its light between green and
red to show when you are in a low or high energy consumption setting -
inert peer pressure.Ya this feature is really a green concept which helps to reduce the power consumptions there by reducing the non renewable consumption a little.LEDs themselves are mounted directly behind the product surface to save
waste and there are no paints, sprays or even electroplating used on
its components. Instead the EcoBook exposes the raw materials, keeping
the manufacturing process free of any solvents and hazardous materials.
They claim that Ecobook is 50% recyclable and hence highly eco-friendly.





In the words of the Ausus.....'
Evolving from the use of polycarbonate,
aluminum-magnesium alloy, carbon fiber and leather in earlier notebook
models, each material bringing its own unique combination of physical
and aesthetic properties that enhance the look, feel and durability of
ASUS notebooks, the EcoBook is a concept notebook that is the world’s
first to use bamboo paneling.

Few more Green Products

There exists always a balance between nature and its creations.Whenever some of its creatures due to its actions tries to hamper its harmony, nature itself will rectify it in the natural way.But Human Beings one of the most wonderful of its creation, progressed to control even the nature in his hands all the harmony and balance seems to lose.We need not make that happen even more . Lets make our each action so that it does not harm our environment.


Here I am introducing some more green products which does not harm our nature in its creation , use or in its destruction.

1.Glass straws Its a change in the usage of glass straws instead of using plastic ones.Glass straws don't leach toxins into your mouth or beverage as you drink .These glass are made of borosilicate wall tubing.It is unbreakable guarenteed due to its annealed type of construction.It can be used for hot as well as cold drinks.It is safe to use in microwave owens and dishwasher safe.

Algae-the new green fuel

Can't you believe that?Yes its true the next generation fuel which could hopefully change the dependency of the non renewable fossil fuels as source of energy would be algae. Algaes are actually green aquatic organisms that through the process of the photosynthesis can entrap our solar energy to produce vegetable oil which can be decomposed into the bio diesel.This bio diesel can be just used like other petroleum oils in the combustion engine. Algaes main advantage is that it doesn't need any fertile soil to flourish.It can be grown in any ponds or tanks or in any deserts.It just need only sunlight,water and carbon dioxide to multiply like weeds. Also because of its high surface area it can absorb nutrients more quickly than any oil producing crops and require much less space than them.


Process of extraction
  • As soon as the algae colony becomes mature nullify the nitrogen supply.
  • The organisms react to the nitrogen deficiency by producing extra fats in the cells.
  • When enough fats are made the cells are collected and broke them apart.
  • With the help of suitable solvents extract the fats out from the water soluble proteins and sugar.
  • Purify the collected fats, and evaporate the solvent .
  • Now a process called transesterification is carried out to transform the bio diesel out of the fats collected from the cells.

Geo engineering-new green technology


Geo Engineering -What does it mean? what isits motive? So many questions may arise when you hear a word or term like that.The answer is simple I tell you.It is a drastic counter measure to reduce or nullify the ill effects on our planet due to various human activities like global warming,Polar ice melting etc..This branch of science tries to deal with the problem of global issues like this with a solution which can create an opposite effect on the environment to get it back to its green nature using the natural phenomenons to counter act it. This concept was actually rejected by many scientists as a 'fringe science' when it was introduced back in 1960s.But now its application or use is more clear and transparent that one can't easily avoid it.


One of the examples they trying to do is to create an artificial volcano to counter act the devastating effect of global warming due to the accumulation of green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane etc...
This volcanic erruptions can release to the atmo
sphere tons of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere which can cause a temporary cooling effect on the planet. The sulphur dioxide would react to form a cloud of sulfuric acid droplets that would in turn reflect sunlight and helps in cooling.how these materials aredelivered to the stratosphere is not actually designed.It can be achieved by using ballons or cannons or high altitude flying planes.But these project would cost a lot of financial holdings.It can cost like about $1 billion to $50 billion a year.Also there is a problem dealing with these valcanic erruptions that it hinder the repair of ozone hole.Isn't it worth doing or just a waste of money is a hot topic in the discussions of many scientists.But really no cost would be so high if it can make a change in the global scenario that can reduce a devastating effect like global warming.
