Green Cars Info-Graphic

We love cool info-graphics and here we have an info-graphic which looks at how modern cars are so much greener than older cars with the dawn of electric and hybrid cars. However there is so much focus on the expense of electric and hybrid cars that many people don’t seem to be aware that most new cars you buy today will be much greener than the ones they replace. It’s simply a case of knowing which shade of green you want to be.

We need to go green. Everyone knows that. The world's population is growing fast yet natural resources are being depleted and not being replaced. For many years the car has been seen as the problem. In 2006 alone, London transport produced 9.6 tonnes Co2 emissions. That's the weight of 208.5 Titanics! But car manufacturers have improved their green standards and these innovations have been staggering. It would take 200 modern cars to produce the same emissions as the Ford Fiesta from 1976. That's quite a car collection! So what's changed?

As well as electric and hybrid cars there's a growing number of 'Eco Trim' options. These are little changes like 'low-resistance' tyres and engine start-stop functionality that make a big difference to the environment. It's these innovations that deliver the same driving experience but with up to 20% better fuel efficiency and 15% reduced green house emissions and because driving your car accounts for 85% of its total environmental impact, it really pays off to go eco and get rid of that old banger that you love!

But with all this innovation - which model do you choose? In reality, any car you buy today will be greener than the one it replaces. The only choice is; what shade of green do you want to be?

Cool Infographic - State of the Internet

We love cool infographics and this state of the internet infographic takes infographics to the next level. The Internet is a strange, huge beast. It is getting bigger, faster and more mobile each day. Ferocious social networks fight each other to be on top and gain more of our attention and personal information. An entire economy is generated from our browsing habits. This is the face of the Internet now.

Created by: Online Schools

While the Internet has an amazing reach, it still has room to grow. While 71% of the people in developed countries are online, only 21% of those in developing countries have access so far. In spite of such regional disparities, the Internet continues to become faster and more affordable overall. As the number of users increases, so does the sheer amount of money, information and opinions exchanged online. When it comes to the Internet's future, most specialists are optimistic: 64% of them believe the flow of information online will remain mostly free rather than falling under the control of powerful institutions and 81% believe the Internet will enhance human intelligence.

Euro Millions jackpot hits record £166million - become richer than the Beckhams overnight

If you win Euro Millions jackpot tonight of a cool £166million you become richer than the Beckham's! More than 3 million tickets an hour are expected to be sold as sales peak this afternoon (900 per second). A single winner would be the equivalent of 418th on the Sunday Times Rich List, sitting alongside David and Victoria Beckham (£165million) and self-made millionaire and Dragons' Den regular Theo Paphitis (£170million).

Rod Stewart worth €129 million.
Jamie Oliver worth £106 million
David Bowie worth £100 million.

If the jackpot is not won tonight, it will be frozen at its current level for further draws until somebody does match all five balls in the main draw and the two Lucky Star numbers. Any prize money raised above the £166million cap will be shared between winners in the next prize level down.

Those matching all five balls and one Lucky Star usually stand to scoop about £211,000 but this could be significantly boosted. National Lottery spokeswoman Jenny Dowden said: “We could be creating several UK millionaires in the next prize level down. “On Tuesday, we had five UK ticket-holders matching five numbers and one Lucky Star. “This roll series alone has already raised £70million for good causes here in the UK.
