Carbon Printing Controversy

air blade photoA recent university study has claimed that Dyson's Airblade, a popular hand dryer, increases bacterial growth and doesn't actually lower emissions compared to that of using promotional napkins or paper towels. Dyson has slammed this study and demanded better evidence, however the university remains steadfast in its claims. The Airblade, which uses Dyson's custom technology to quickly and safely dry hands in an eco-friendly manner, is extremely popular and is used in airports, hospitals and even in Buckingham Palace! A further study may be necessary, but this is an issue that is most definitely worth pondering.

Most Beautiful Pictures

If we all started acting more eco-conscious, we have a chance to save this beautiful creature of the Earth!

Ford is Loving the Earth



While it's great that all of today's motor companies are setting goals to have vehicles that can run on 100% clean and renewable energy, Ford has taken another step to raise the bar in eco-friendly motor development. In an effort to be more environmentally conscious Ford has increased the amounts of custom recycled products it uses when creating its vehicles, which are already at a whopping 85%, in terms of their car parts being renewable and recyclable. So on this glorious Earth day...and I never thought I'd be saying this about promotional automotive products...but congratulations Ford!
