Could Kiwi Fruit be Fuel of the Future?
What little brown fuzzy fruit is already known for its laxative, blood thinning, and meat tenderizing properties as well as decorating our fruit salads? Yep, the kiwi! I love those little furry fruits and now researchers in New Zealand have added the kiwi fruit to the list as a potential bio-fuel. Two companies are working on ways to turn kiwi-waste into such things as adhesives and bio-plastics as well as a fuel to power cars.
Rock-On little guys. You are good for my tummy and now maybe filling my gas tank some day.
About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
