Hybrid cars are great, but they're often delivered on cargo ships and trucks that use the same old fossil fuels. We need to find better kinds of bulk transportation. The Auriga Leader is showing the way.

Oil is an expensive resource that is rapidly becoming harder to find. Eventually, we are going to have to find a new renewable fuel source to replace it. These scientists think they already have-algae.

In our cities, waste collection can be pretty wasteful itself. Garbage trucks have to make near constant trips to keep public trash bins from overflowing-contributing to traffic and pollution. To keep our cities in harmony, we'll have to figure out a better system for urban waste collection. The people at BigBelly Solar already have one solution.

Our planet is a fragile ecosystem. To keep it in balance, we must figure out how to improve our urban transportation. B-Cycle in Denver, Colorado offers a unique and sustainable solution for how we can move through our cities. This European-style bike sharing system enables residents of Denver to access bicycles conveniently at various stations throughout the city. By replacing short car rides with environment-friendly biking, B-Cycle helps to keep our air clean, our bodies healthy, and our spirits high.

Our planet is a fragile ecosystem. To maintain balance, we'll have to find ways to bring sustainable agriculture to our growing cities. The Science Barge, a floating farm in New York City, is proof that we can. The barge grows produce hydroponically, using only sustainable energy, and teaches local students how to do the same on their rooftops.

Our planet is a fragile ecosystem. To keep it in balance, we'll have to figure out how to harness nature to generate clean, affordable energy. Catapult Design in San Francisco has one answer. Their turbines are cheap and practical, and can power lights or charge cell phones in villages that are off the grid.
