A Bull by the Horns

Yes now most of you must be wondering as it to what I am going to talk about? Well it is a little different from my usual topics however is has some similar thoughts. I received a mail from RIPT Apparel, an online tee-shirt retailer who just launched their concepts to the world. They started off with a design focused on the usual traffic gridlock faced by billions of people on this planet.

Now gridlock is really frustrating and this is what the tee-shirt design depicts. The horns, the pollution, the heat, waiting in queues and so on. Now in terms of the environment, by avoiding traffic gridlocks, people can save money, time; it also reduces pollution such as noise pollution, air pollution, and many more.

For tee-shirt fans, who want some uniqueness in what design you want on your shirt, this is a good place to start cause the designs last for 24 hours and after the deadline a new design comes in. Each shirt costs $10 and they ship internationally so get your credit cards and start shopping. Btw to understand the title look at the picture carefully..

The Great Coral triangle is on its last breath

The Great Coral Triangle shared between Indonesia and five other South-East Asian countries is said to dying out. Already 40% of the coral reefs present within this Coral triangle has been lost and the rest is feared to be lost very quickly if something is not done about it. Its presence can be compared with the Amazon rain-forest biodiversity. It plays a major role in providing biodiversity in the oceans. Read the article published by the BBC.

New Hopes for a cleaner future

Last month the entire world watched one of the most powerful person in the world take an oath to serve his country, Barack Obama, the president of United States of America. He will be remembered in the history books and those who witnessed his oath will never forget. After more than two weeks in office he has taken some stern decisions about the current global crisis, however his take on the environment has given hope for the future. Policies like the Kyoto Protocol and advising car manufacturers to reduce the carbon exhaust, introducing greener solutions has given many possibilities. Well introducing greener solutions will introduce more jobs where the current job market is very dull and may boost the economy.

Although time is the factor, it looks like America finally realizes that the environment is also a major crisis like the economy and something must be done about it. Good Luck to the current Obama administration!

TheCarConnection: 2008 Ford Taurus

Ford Taurus is manufactured by one of US top car manufacturer Ford Motor Company and has become a strong brand over the years with its first car being manufactured and released on 1986. Ever since that it made quite a mark in the US car market. However as competitors increased especially with Japan car manufacturers entering the market, the Ford Taurus lost its place and was later discontinued in 2006. Although the car was discontinued, similar models were released by Ford, the Ford Five Hundred and the Fusion.

In an effort to revive the Taurus brand again, Ford used the new facelifts intended for the Five Hundred and Ford Freestyle to Taurus and Taurus X. For all the Ford Taurus fans out there, Ford will be making the all-new 2010-Taurus available to public by July 2009.

I will be discussing about the 2008 Ford Taurus review a little bit by TheCarConnection. The car looks like a robust and solid car, although not much of a looker’s car. The engine is a 3.5 litre powered by a Duratec V-6 which delivers 265 horsepower. The engine being a more powerful engine that the Ford Five Hundred. Taurus is not supposed to be a sports car, it’s a cruising sedan, a car you can just drive at a constant speed and just relax, that’s a Taurus, and so the engine specs work. The transmission is smooth though while downshifting, the car jerks but you could get used to it.

That’s the car anyways, the review is very informative, although it still lacks more information about the car. Also the regular use of reference, kind of loses the appeal of the review. I like the other stuff of the review. Things like the estimated car price, dealers’ price quota, the local dealer store and many more. Something that I noticed was the “Bottom Line”. It gives the overall view of the product, the pros and cons of the car, so worth checking.

Overall the car has a long legacy even though it had its downturns, the 2008 Ford Taurus is a great American car as for the review if you want to know the brief idea and make a decision read the bottom line.
