Green car all over: Bamboo speakers by Panasonic
Via Treehugger, we’ve learned you can make
your car even more environmentally sound (*ahem*) by installing Panasonic’s newly-developed speakers, made
partially out of bamboo fibers. Panasonic developed the speakers in conjunction with Doshisha University. Bamboo is one
of the world’s quickest-growing plants, and apparently has an excellent sound range. Panasonic isn’t saying
where these speakers may show up when they are released next year, but all signs point to a release for mobile audio
systems. Most people listen to music in their car more than anywhere else, and even if the bamboo speakers cost more
than other types (as Treehugger suggests), it’ll be a small price to pay for a somewhat more ecologically-correct
automobile. [Source: Treehugger]
