Look at That - Session I

by Chad on July 11, 2008

This is a new weekly series (Look at That) that Nic told me I have to do. Every Friday I’ll post some of the best and more interesting green links I’ve found in the past week. So sit back, grab a pint and kick off your weekend with a few green links:

  1. I got really excited about this fantastic method of controlling and monitoring home energy usage with an iPhone. Then I realized it is just a concept. Still worth checking out though.
  2. We’ve been looking at different solar thermal setups at the 100K House blog over the past few months. Here is a great article on someone who designed and installed their own solar thermal setup for only $3,000 and are already saving up to $100 a month. Not bad.
  3. Want to have your home rebuilt to LEED Silver standards after a fire? Check out the latest in insurance - Green Insurance.
  4. I can’t think of any company that could build prefab homes better than my favorite auto manufacturer. Kaizen!
  5. Lastly, we are looking at Frigidaire appliances over at the 100K project and I stumbled across this Frigidaire model that includes a built-in kegerator and tap on the front where a water dispenser would usually be found. I hope they have an Energy Star version!

So your favorite auto manufacturer is Toyota? For shame!

I am curious, why is Toyota your favorite?

Nobody can beat their quality, efficiency and just pure manufacturing genius. There’s a reason industrial engineers study them almost exclusively (Dell as well now) in college…
