Saint Patrick’s Day is coming up soon and you know what that means! Everywhere on March seventeenth people will be dressing up all in green, making sure no one is going around pinching them for not celebrating! A great way to show your love of going green, not just on Saint Pat’s but all year round, is to go green for good with a quality hybrid vehicle.
A great way to show your love of going green, not just on Saint Pat’s but all year round, is to go green for good with a quality hybrid vehicle. Hybrid vehicles are growing exponentially in popularity, and are only expected to become even more popular as energy consciousness grows globally.
Sometimes people can be put off at the thought of a hybrid vehicle. When you hear the words “hybrid car” the image that usually comes to mind is one of a cute little car with no power to it. But the tiny little hybrids aren’t the only ones on the market anymore. These days there is a huge selection of vehicles that have hybrid technologies to them and can still pack a good punch where it counts. Even big work trucks are being outfitted with hybrid power technologies and they are still doing all the work that the old models could do.
These hybrid trucks and larger hybrid vehicles are also becoming very popular. Some popular models include the Yukon Denali hybrid and the Sierra hybrid. And even those who aren’t interested in heavy duty work and hauling vehicles may be turned off by the popular image of the tiny and cramped little hybrid that is designed to look cute. But luckily for those interested in hybrid vehicles that aren’t work vehicles or little tiny sedans there is the Buick LaCrosse.
The Buick LaCrosse uses the new eAssist technology, which in many cases actually ave more fuel than some traditional hybrid vehicles. The eAssist technology electronically shuts down the vehicle’s engine while the vehicle is in idle or rolling downhill. It then uses the spare energy that has built up to power the vehicle until it is necessary to turn the engine on again. This technologically saves the customer hundreds of dollars in gasoline and saves the environment at the same time.
And even if all of the great hybrid vehicles out there just aren’t for you, you can still make the wise choice to go green for Saint Patrick’s Day by choosing a vehicle company that cares about the environment. General Motors has a long and detailed record of being commended for their contributions to the environment. They have recently received several wildlife preservation awards and have been commended by the EPA for emissions saving energy technologies. They are also continuously putting forth efforts to reduce their emissions at their facilities both domestically and worldwide, and are on their way to achieving even more emissions awareness awards from the EPA.
Cutting Off Access for Oral Bacteria May Be Key to Preventing Tooth Decay
The journal of Microbiology recently published a study containing results which suggest that we may now have the keys to preventing gum disease and tooth loss. The study says that if we can strip some oral bacteria from being able to access the other pathogenic oral bacteria then we may be able to use them to help prevent decay and loss.
Green Beer? Try Green Teeth
This Saint Patrick’s Day thousands of people across the U.S. will be going out to celebrate with lots of delicious green foods like green cakes, green cupcakes, green chocolate, green eggs and ham, and even the popular Saint Patty’s Day hit green beer. But all this green food has one thing in common: green food coloring. In small doses green food coloring can be a fun way to brighten up your food or play along for Saint Patrick’s Day, but after eating green food coloring all day a person’s teeth will quickly start to show that green dye.
