    We all know how green, eco-friendly and environment-loving those friendly windmill are. After all, they use no fossil fuels, produce no carbon, and yet produce a significant amount of energy. The windmill now goes lot greener than it already is! Using bamboo instead of steel for blades, Dutch designer Gijsbert Koren’s idea for greener energy seems just right. The blades of the windmill, woven in India, will be lighter too, taken that they use lightweight bamboo, instead of the annoyingly heavy steel. And besides doing a bit more for the environment right from production, these windmills look greener too, with an increased aesthetic appeal.


    How about coming up with solar panels, also using bamboo components?
