Since today is Earth Day, we thought we would write about a company that is doing their part to make our world greener.
King 5 News (Seattle,WA) reported today that Jones Soda’s corporate headquarters has taken itself completely off the power grid today. How is this possible?
Jones employees, using a system developed by the applied physics lab at University of Washington, will ride nine bicycles throughout the day to power their office. The system uses the momentum from the bicycles to continuously recharge numerous batteries. These batteries direct the power to a main source and this source is essentially what will power their office today.
I think this is really exciting. Especially since they have asked residents of the community to come by and help peddle.
