Green Business Blog Carnival #24

green business blog carnival
Fresh off the heels of last week's Green Business Blog Carnival at Green Building Elements, Earth & Industry is proud to host this week's edition of the Green Business Blog Carnival, a great way to share stories with new and like-minded reader communities. This is our first stab at hosting the weekly event and although this week's pickings are a little slim, there are still some goodies worth sharing.

What is the only thing better than solar power? Free solar power!! EarthWise is giving away a $100,000 rooftop system to one lucky non-profit business in Arizona. (Calfinder)

In the wake of Frito-Lay’s decision to ditch the first-ever compostable chip bag comes good news from Samovar Tea
Lounge. Samovar, an artisanal tea shop based in San Francisco, is officially the first tea company to introduce a compostable container for their full line of teas. (Eat Drink Better)

This week GE announced the five winners for the Ecomagination Innovation Award focusing on solutions that will help to revolutionize the power grid. Each winner receives $100,000 to further develop their technology.

What are car manufacturer's efforts to implement green technologies into their vehicles? Besides the developments in using alternative fuels, the application of bioplastics becomes more and more attractive. This article reviews some of the most prominent examples of the use of biopolymers within the car industry. (Innovative Industry)

It's been a busy week for GM. In a week that saw the once-beleaguered automaker emerge from bankruptcy with an extremely successful IPO on the New York Stock Exchange and a $40 million investment in sustainability projects, the company also celebrated the Chevy Volt being named the Car of the Year and the Green Car of the Year from Motor Trend and Green Car Journal respectively. (Earth & Industry)
