Go-Eco is a 501(c)(4) corporation dedicated to reducing harmful carbon-based pollutants released into local communities.

AutoblogGreen reader Michael recently sent in a question regarding the about-to-start "Cash for Clunkers" program. Officially known as the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), the program allows owners of some older and inefficient vehicles to trade them in and get a rebate check worth up to $4,500 from the government to buy a new car. The simple version of the rules are that the trade-in can't be more than 25 years old, needs to have an official combined highway/city fuel economy rating of less than 18 mpg (on the EPA's new mpg scale), be in drivable condition and you have to have owned and insured the car for at least the year prior to turning it in. Michael's question revolves around what happens when a car has two fuel economy ratings - one for gas and one for ethanol. Turns out, no one really knows yet. Find out more after the jump.

This bipartisan legislation does more to reduce our foreign oil dependency crisis than any other piece of legislation in the past 40 years. As I have said many times before and will continue to say, natural gas is cleaner, cheaper, it's abundant and it's American... For too long, our dependence on foreign oil has been one of the factors influencing our foreign policy and if we can eliminate that issue by using our own domestic natural gas resources I am confident that it will benefit our national security, our economy and the environment.If the legislation is met favorably in the Senate, there is a possibility it could be attached to the much broader energy and climate change bill that's currently in the works. Click here to read more on the pros and cons of natural gas for use in our cars and trucks, and click past the break for the official press release.

Oh, what a difference a day makes. Less than 24 hours removed from lofty goals, including 50 percent global cuts in carbon emissions by 2050, the G8 has backtracked, and now has agreed simply to “substantially reduce carbon emissions” by 2050, reports The Guardian UK.
And G8 nations themselves are now no longer willing to cut [...]

Greenpeace Goes Guerrilla on Mount RushmoreA few intrepid Greenpeace activists scaled Mt. Rushmore and hung a banner next to Lincoln's face featuring President Obama's portrait and the message "America honors leaders not politicians: stop global warming." Yeah, they got arrested. |
T. Boone Pickens Drops "World's Largest" Plans You know we're in a major recession when even billionaires have to go with "Plan B." After numerous setbacks, Pickens has scrapped the pie in the sky "world's largest wind farm" idea and instead is going with a series of less sexy smaller wind farms. |
Are Paperback Writers Clear Cutters in Disguise?Not to diss Danielle Steel or Tom Clancy, but I'm willing to bet that at least a couple of their bestsellers won't end up in the canon of English literary masterworks. That said, are these authors responsible for needlessly chopping down forests to print millions of paperbacks? |
Flying Standby Takes a Whole New Meaning A discount airline in China has proposed standing room flights to fit more passengers, like on a bus. Sure, it would lower your ticket price and reduce your carbon footprint, but will consumers stand for it (sorry for the pun)? If successful, other carriers will surely follow suit. |
Eating Away at Your A/C BillIf you're trying to get by with as little air-conditioning as possible this summer, but the triple digit heat is not cooperating, you can always adjust your eating habits a bit. Avoid the oven at all costs, eat lots of popsicles, and try your hand at some ceviche. |

Bruce Willis to Build a Greener Ski ResortBruce Willis will soon be the proud owner of a ski resort that utilizes passive solar heating in central Idaho. Actually, he's owned the lodge on Soldier Mountain for some time, but it recently burned down, giving him the opportunity for a green redesign. Awesome! |
Would You Like to Charge Your Vehicle With That?Chances are, if you're stopping in at the Golden Arches for a Big Mac, you're probably not on your way to chain yourself to an old growth tree. Still, in North Carolina, you can now charge your EV while you sit and enjoy your bucket-sized cola. |
Seattle Storm Plant A Tree for Every ThreeEven if Seattle's your team's arch rival in the WNBA, you can still cheer when they hit a three-pointer. That's because they've teamed up with a local Subaru dealership that will plant a tree in a nearby forest for every three the Storm drain this season. |
The Ghost of School Lunches Yet to ComeWho doesn't have nightmares filled with school lunches from their childhood? Am I the only one? Anyway, the school lunch entrees of the future may be even more unnatural (ribless rib sandwiches?) than the those of the past. If you love your child, please, brown bag it. |
MJ Doesn't Go With Eco-CasketWhile it'd be nice to see a more eco-friendly choice (like maybe the coffin table), the King of Pop was laid to rest in solid bronze, 14-carat gold-plated casket. For all the energy and emissions invested in taking that metal out of the ground, it seems weird to put it right back in. |

Red wolves are one of the rarest mammals in North America. They are a mere 100 strong in their native habitat of North Carolina’s Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. But with the help of the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) in South Salem, NY, the Canis rufus may grow in number…first in New York, and then in North Carolina....
