Eco-Friendly Mini Tank: Toyota Hi-Ct

The Toyota Hi-Ct concept car made its debut at the Bangkok International Motor Show sporting a a decidedly tank-like profile. Despite the car's boxy looks, it is in fact a green hybrid vehicle that can charge from an external power source via an AC100V accessory socket. The car also features a removable trunk and bicycle/surfboard deck. I think it's kinda cute.

Eco-Friendly Shower: Eco_Drop Shower Concept

The Eco_Drop Shower concept makes long showers a thing of the past. After showering for a long time, the concentric circles on the floor begin to rise making it uncomfortable to stay in the shower. I guess it's named "Eco_Drop" because the concentric circles on the floor look like water drops.

Eco-Friendly Building: Pasedena Eco House

The components and design elements of the Pasedena Eco House were selected based on performance, attractiveness, quality, service and commitment to eco-friendly building. The house is built of Structural Concrete Insulated Panels (SCIP) panels, a green composite building technique that allows for partial prefabrication and custom design – thus reducing construction costs and time while allowing for unique specifications to be called out. The entire building system is made of recycled materials with a concrete layer added. The concrete technology is advancing towards new eco binders (geo polymers) that replace the Portland cement.
