Once again we see another celebrity on The Jay Leno Show Green Car Challenge driving the Green Built Ford Focus.   It was the outspoken conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh. His interview with Jay was very colorful and looking at him, we were amazed to see such weight loss. According to him, he lost almost 85 pounds and was raring to go on the racetrack even declining to wear the protective helmet.

Unfortunately he did not beat the track record, but decided to hit former Vice President Al Gore, not only once, but backing up and hitting him again with the car.  I don’t think he was trying to beat the track record or put down being Green, but make a statement about running over Al Gore.  Of course he did the same with environmentalist Ed Begley.  At the end of the race he was very exstatice about driving the environmentally friendly Ford Focus.

The Jay Leno Show did it again the last night with their Green Car Challenge featuring the Ford Focus.  This time it pits Bob Costas with Al Micheals, both of whom are sports reporters on NBC Sports.  But looking at their driving and skills were unable to de-thrown Drew Barrymore’s record breaking time (of course she was the firs to ride the track).

The custom Ford Focus still looks like it is fun to drive in the special built obstacle course.  And of course since it is battery operated does not make any racing sounds, so Al Michaels added his flair of sound effects.  Check out the video to see both on the race track.

We are just wondering how long before the Ford Focus Green car will make its debut on the showroom floor.

One additional item to point out is that this is only for the largest corporation and not small and medium size businesses.  At the end of the day you still have to do your part in supporting environmental issues and green initiatives within your company.  When was the last time you used less power at your office, desk, cubicle, or workspace.  If every worker made an effort at least one time per week, we could make an impact on the world.

• Ford and the new “The Jay Leno Show” on NBC are teaming up to showcase battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology as part of the show’s “Green Car Challenge,” premiering Sept. 14
• A specially built battery electric Ford Focus will be driven through the show’s first season by celebrity guests who are competing in the “Green Car Challenge” for best track times

As Drew Barrymore zipped through the turns and twists of a custom built track by Jay Leno, the Ford Focus was on mark.  In the coming weeks, there will be more celebrities competing against each other to see who will get the best times around the track.

“Having our Focus battery electric vehicle on the show is a great way to demonstrate how fun to drive these cars really can be,” said Lisa Drake, chief engineer, Ford Hybrid and Battery Electric Vehicle Programs. “Beyond the immediate excitement of driving, it demonstrates that Ford is investing in this technology and that we’re committed to electric vehicles.”

It if really great that they are taking the revolution of green automobiling to television.  Now if all car chases were in fuel efficient cars, then we would have a real effort in Prime Time.  This is really a great start.

Another option is to make every production in Hollywood Eco Friendly.  One way to do this would be to have Eco Frieindly products used by crews.  One way would be to eliminate all plastic water bottles and replace them with G Force Stainless Steel Water Bottles.

If you are a television or film production manager and are looking to make your production eco friendly, contact us or just buy online.  Production discounts are available.

Commuter Bike

As you or your child is packing for college and thinking about a new bike, here are some tips from G Force Products and also bits from our friends at Planet Green:

• Determine Type of Bike Needed
  • What distances will you be going? Short distances or long?
  • Will the bicycle be used for other purposes (Recreation/Sport/Cycling)
• Get a light weight durable frame
  • If you will be also using for cycling, then consider Carbon Fiber (if you have the money to burn)
• Will you need to have storage?
  • If so, then get one with fenders
• What additional accessories will you need?
  • Fenders - For protection when wet and also to protect bikes from racks
  • Racks or panniers - Used for storage
  • Mirror - For Safety and to monitor traffic behind you
  • Tires - modify your bike with the right tires for conditions you will by cycling in

Common Types of Bikes for College

• Commuter Bikes - these bicycles are a transformation of mountain bikes into bikes that can be used for commuting without the heavy weight of the mountain bike.  Made for comfort for long hauls
• Road Bicycles - Fast speed bikes for getting places quickly
• Fixed Speed Bikes - These are useful for cycling on flat open areas with little hills.  They are cost effective alternatives to Commuter bicycles and Road Bicycles

And of course the last item that you will need is a water bottle.  We would prefer that you purchase a G Force Stainless Steel Water Bottle, but we will leave that decision up to you.

Remember that buying a bike and using it not only gets you from A to B, but it is also a Green and ECO Friendly way to travel.   If you also have tips, please leave them in the comments.  We are looking forward to hearing your ideas for back to school.

A new documentary, Tapped,  is set to be released this weekend in New York and Los Angeles focusing on the bottled water industry.  It focuses on the unregulated industry and what impact it has on the communities we live in.  Here is the full description of the movie:

Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right, or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any other article of commerce? Stephanie Soechtig’s debut feature is an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water.

From the producers of Who Killed the Electric Car and I.O.U.S.A., this timely documentary is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never become a commodity: our water.

From the plastic production to the ocean so many of these bottles end up in, this inspiring doc trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities which were the unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this revelatory doc shows those caught at the intersection of big business and the public’s right to water.
