It had to happen. With all of the talk about hybrid/fuel efficient/earth friendly cars, you knew it would soon trickle down. Corgi, a manufacturer of die cast model cars, announced to day that they will be manufacturing a toy car fueled by green energy.
The eco nature of remote control cars, of which we have a few, had never really bothered me but, I’m starting to look at toys a little differently these days. A solar powered toy car not only keeps batteries out of landfills, it teaches children the importance of going green.

Super cool! My son (and husband) would love one of these!
Fun post! We’ve actually built one of the model-versions of the solar cars and zoomed it around the cul-de-sac driving the dogs crazy…
Similarly, here’s a ‘big kid’ post I wrote about green machines (MIT/Stanford Vlab) re: Tesla Motors & the ‘new energy’ that’s Shaping Youth out there. Vrrroom! http://www.shapingyouth.org/blog/?p=300
