Electric cars are designed and coming out in the market already. Some also come in hybrid mechanism and all of these kinds of vehicles carry the intention of saving the environment as its produce less if not zero emission. Another eco transportation means is designed and this time around, it is an electric bicycle concept called the HMK 561 and is designed by Ralf Kittmann. The HMK 561’s carbon fiber construction serves as the electricity conduction and capacitor that stores energy thus allows the bike’s frames to transmit power and allows the lights and motors to move. What is nicer with this bikes is that, it gains energy by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, thus the engine and light will turn on.

Sooner or later, parking and carbon emission will never be a problem anymore. With the numerous eco-friendly car concepts we have today, air pollution and parking spaces will never be a problem if they come into fruition. One of the great concepts we have right now is Smart Cities’ City Car electric automobile. This battery-electric powered car has the ability to provide weather protection, climate control and comfort, secure storage, and crash protection, thus meet a person’s need for an enclosed personal mobility. The City Car has the mileage like of a 150 to 200 miles per gallon of gasoline but use a battery-electric, thus produces zero emission.

Being always on time requires you to have a functional clock. The PaperPulp Clock by Chris Kown and Ramon Middelkoop will not only keep you on time and allows you to not waste your time but will also help you save the earth. The PaperPulp Clock is made of recycled paper pulp forms making it not only a nice looking and functional clock but also an eco-friendly one. In addition, the production process of the clock requires a little amount of energy and uses the sun power to dry the pulp. Another green feature of this one of a kind clock is its being recyclable at the end of its useful life by having it recycled.

With the aim to make our homes as green as possible, we tend to chose those homes with designs that allows natural sunlight to come-in to minimize the use of energy for lighting purposes during daytime, which is achievable with large windows. However, collecting sunlight and transforming it into a useful electricity is another form of saving energy and the environment. Today, designers from Peer+ come up with an innovative concept that combines normal lighting from sunlight and collecting solar energy through its eco-friendly product called Smart Energy Glass because the glass does the incorporation of a normal window and a solar panel.
