Product- Eco-friendly Cell Phones-The plastic part of the phone is made from corn productMade- Tokyo, JapanShipping to- United States

Facts• A large cargo ship can emit pollutants equivalent to that of

12,500 cars • In international waters ship emissions are one of the least

regulated parts of our global transportation system • In a study it has been found that cargo ships have produced

more than a million tons of pollutants in a year• Cargo ships burn about 380 tons per day• Average ship travels at an average of 14 to 17 knots

• The Nissan car company created a more fuel efficient cargo ship. They created the “City of St. Petersburg” which is a diesel hybrid power train that allows some energy to be recaptured in a bank of nickel-metal-hydride batteries just like those used in its hybrid cars. The ship uses 800 tons less fuel a year and is 50% more aerodynamic than other cargo ships. The ship therefore emits 2500 tons less CO2 annually (Voelcker, John).

• Has an average speed of about 17 knots or 20 mph• Has a 24 manned crew
