Toyota Wants to Build Car from Seaweed – By Ben Mack
February 24, 2009
Quote: “Toyota is looking to a greener future — literally — with dreams of an ultralight, superefficient plug-in hybrid with a bioplastic body made of seaweed that could be in showrooms within 15 years.”
About the Librarian
Your Engineering Librarian
My name is Ed Eckel and I am a Science/Engineering Librarian at Western Michigan University. I have started this page to provide news and information to faculty and students at the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, which is located on the Parkview Campus of WMU.
If you have questions about the engineering or applied sciences resources at the Waldo Library, or wish to schedule a librarian-led instruction session for your class, please contact me either via my email, by phone 269-387-5140 or by the Meebo Chat Widget below. I look forward to hearing from you.
