In 2007, Mushrooms and Hair were used to clean up the Cosco Busan oil spill in the San Francisco Bay. A group of volunteers were able to absorb slicks of oil on the shore that washed up since the Cosco Busan cargo ship spill 58,000 gallons of oil. Could something on a larger scale work for the Gulf of Mexico spill?

Volkswagen bik.e

The Volkswagen bik.e electric-driven micro mobility concept was unveiled at the Chinese auto show as part of the company's electro-mobility program. Unfortunately, apart from these images, VW did not release any details regarding the Volkswagen bik.e concept.

The Volkswagen bik.e seems to be small bike powered by an electric motor which is developed for urban use. We're not sure at this point if the Volkswagen bik.e will go into production or it's just a design study. In any case, it looks quite interesting.
