Bamboo Taxis Hit the Streets of the Phillipines

Rustico Balderian, mayor of Tabontabon in the Philippines rolled out two amazing taxis crafted from bamboo as a result of looking for a low-cost, fuel-efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly alternative to motorcycles. These are made from 90% bamboo that are powered by coconut biodiesel.

The vehicles are called the Eco 1 and Eco 2. The Eco 1 seats 20 people and can run on one gallon of biodiesel for about 80 hours. Eco 2 works just as well, but seats around 8. Both vehicles are made by Tabontabon’s out-of-school youth, 90% of each vehicle is made out of bamboo, and they are covered in traditional Filipino woven mats called banig.via

Life Size Lego Car

Now this is what I am talking about, not just a Mini car covered in Legos, but a Mini car that has become a life size Lego wonder. I am predicting this Lego art car will become an Internet sensation in about a week. Will the owner of this Lego art car step forward and be congratulated for a job well done:) This car was seen at Dapitan St., Sampaloc Manila.
