Innovating Sustainability

If you like cars, are intrigued by the evolution of potentially disruptive technologies, or are always looking for ways to be more ecologically aware (or all three!), this article from Popular Mechanics about the first 3D printed car, the Urbee 2, is worth a read.  

It's a great story of collaboration, dedication, passionate pursuits and innovation.  Interesting gems are littered throughout, like this quote from Jim Kor, founder of Kor Ecologic:

"...designing for sustainability can arguably be stated to be humanity’s biggest and most important challenge of the coming century. It’s something we absolutely need to get right.” 

Innovating with sustainability at the core.  Well, that pretty much sums it up.  And since every little bit counts - from recycling daily to producing an entirely new automobile - the possibilities are endless. 

Where will you start?
