Edition 38

 Greetings!

The world of renewable energies is one of constant excitement. Whether it's hydrogen-powered busses, cow-powered farms, or garbage-powered cars, we at SustainLane love keeping an eye on all the new technologies popping up on the radar screen. Lucky for us, our community members make a pretty good radar.

Also, check out the newest renewable energy inventions in our In the News section, and learn about salt water-powered cars in our most inspiring Green Video of the Week to date.
