It's been a monumental week for green transportation as team Inhabitat
hit the Los Angeles Auto Show to scope out the hottest up-and-coming
eco vehicles - including the winner of the 2011 Green Car of the Year
award, the Chevy Volt! We were also blown away the UK's first all-
electric supercar while Honda announced plans to produce an all-
electric version of its city-friendly Fit. Of course, clean green
vehicles require a steady source of renewable fuel - which is where we
were excited to see Washington DC install its first public EV charger
while London announced plans to install 1,300 charging stations and
Singapore fired up the world's largest biodiesel plant.

This week we also looked at several amazing upgrades to our built
environment, starting with the Tiger-Stone - an automatic brick laying
machine that rolls out roads like carpet. Meanwhile researchers
revealed a new way to repair our crumbling concrete infrastructure
using genetically modified bacteria, and Taiwan unveiled plans for
several futuristic skyscrapers that are wrapped in greenery and
powered by the sun.

Finally, this week we also brought you coverage of the latest and
greatest green building technologies from one of the year's biggest
green design shows - Greenbuild 2010. Speaking of high-tech green
design, check out this handy solar charger shaped like a beetle and
don't miss out on a chance to win a brand new Windows Phone 7!
