Toyota Engineers Two New Flower Species to Offset Manufacturing Carbon

Genetic engineering to satisfy political correctness.

Its impossible to see any way this trend might not turn out good.

They'd do us a lot of good by giving producing the seed for that grass that needs mowing once a year.

60% of water consumed in the US goes to lawns and gardens. If the grass grows slower, it needs less water and less energy/fuel to mow and maintain it. Less toxic fertilizers which means less run-off contaminants in our ground and river water supply which make-up the bulk of our water supply.

It's a growing problem here in California.

Somebody please bring this seed to the consumer. If it were up to Scotts, Dupont, and all the other big companies, we will never see this kind of innovation.

Got one question. Hope someone can answer it.
Wouldn't toyota prius factory release way more pollution than the poor flowers can take in? I'm guessing the flower can absorb about .5-1% of the pollution but what happens to the rest?...

I agree, i don't think that those pants could absorb an significant amount of the pollutions released by the plant. Maybe they could try to make the manufacturing process a little bit more efficient.

If they could bioengineer some type of grass to rapidly absorb the dog bombs in my back yard ...

I think there will be a problem if we start genetically enhancing plants. First though, I think it's great that they're trying to find a way to help the environment. However, what if we all start using this grass? What kind of effects will it have on our ecological systems? Will it be a sort of invasive species?

What's the goal here? If the goal is reduction of greenhouse gases, then Toyota is making progress. It's too late to stop the genetic modification of plants... if you eat corn or soy biproducts in the USA, you are ARE eating GM foods.

The question should be- are these particular variants of GM plants going to cause environmental problems. As with so many other issues, we likely won't know until its too late to do anything about it... but then, we can't live our lives in perpetual fear of change.

Do you not think the manufacturing process has a relevant impact on environment if we compare it with the benefits that the Prius cars have concerning emissions? If we say an average car has a lifespan of 500 000 km, just one liter gain per 100 km of consumption generates vaguely 3 times more CO2 than the car's weight.

well I truly see that your argument is rather serious as it talks about an assorted range of good information. Anyway, was curious whether you would love to exchange contacts with my web portal, as I am searching to generate more contacts to further amplify and make headway for my web site. I don't really mind you pointing my contacts at the homepage, just having this links on this particular page is good and sufficient. Furthermore, would you please leave a message at my site if you are keen in swapping links, I would really like that. Thanks and I hope to hear from you shortly!

What's wrong with genentically modified plants? It helps us save water and allows them to grow in harsh environments.

This is really wonderful. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone.

Go Toyota! At least you can claim that the company attempt to reduce the effects of emisions on our roads. The Prius is afantastic vehicle and although I agree that the process of manufacture is not ideal, nor is many other so called green methods. Until we can manufacture any products without negative byproducts, the best is to attempt to minimize the outfall. Good on you!
