Car Chose Chocolate as Friend to Clean.



Good morning, everyone. Did you look at the today's sky? What's a fine day today! A few days ago, the rainbow appeared in the sky by(for) 20~30 minutes. I couldn't help singing "Over The Rainbow" MANY times. (I was pretty sure that I tripped to the OZ world.)

Anyway, I'm telling you about new ecological biofuel vehicles(cars) from London.
According to the newspaper on May 5, scientists disclosed their new biofuel vehicles. This vehicle fuel produced by scientist uses waste from chocolate fancties and made partly from plant fibers. In other words, those cars "eat" chocolates and plant fibers to run! Morever, their vehicles changed not only fuel but steering wheel(is made from plant-based fibers came from carrots and other root vegetables), seat(is built of flax/linen fiber and soybean oil foam/bubble), and body(is made of plant fibers).

Scientists at the University of Warwick said "Our car is the fastest to run on biofuels and also be made from biodegradable materials. It has been built to Formula 3 specifications about the car's size, weight, and performance."

Those cars are use by racers so that they need speeds. Scientists tested them on a racetrack several times, speeds of cars was approximately 60 mph though scientists hoped to reach 145 mph, There are still some adjustments(adaptations) to run by 145 mph.

Warwick's project manager James Meredith said "Our model shows that it is possible to build a fast, efficient, environmentally friendly car."

They called their car "WorldFirst Formula 3 racing car," is going to display ar several races the European Grand Prix, Britain's Goodwood Festival of Speed, and aother race.

I don't have car licence, and also I'm not interested in car because I'm not good at mechanic much. Therefore I chose this topic to find any funny thing. As s result, I tried this article. Did you enjoy it?

We live on the earth with nature, animals, materials(arts) created by people, and all things. I think that the best way for all lives is the symbiosis(living close together) with regard(kindness). Especially, people have a big influence on the large part of the earth as same as nature. If people don't take care of the other lives, the earth must be like Mars, which no one can live. Thinking about environment on the earth will certainly make all lives happy. I hope poeple(of course, including of me) will be more friendly for the earth.

That's a great news story, and I enjoyed reading your account of it! I hadn't heard this news before. When this car is old, perhaps it can be eaten by goats. Life really is like a box of chocolates, isn't it?

I saw a great rainbow last Friday. Maybe it was the same one that you saw. Then it rained hard. Today is another beautiful day. In America and many other countries, students are graduating and going on to summer vacation around this time or in the next few weeks. Too bad rainy season will come soon.

First, thank you for reading each articles(blogs). I often look for news on the Internet, but I hadn't seen it either. Oh...I didn't come up with a wonderful ideas like yours! If so, I do try to eat them as representative of human beings in Jpana. I became its fan when I participated in Karuizawa seminar on last March.(My group had a presentation about movie"Forest Gump" in English.)

Exactly. Lively breeze is blowing, sun is smiling, and the best thing of today is FRIDAY! Yay! Anyway, I wish I could be an American student because I want to jump to summer right now...

When you were a student, where did you go on summer vacation to skip rainy season?
