Toyota’s dream – a car made of seaweed
Here is a concept car made of seaweed from Toyota.
I know seaweed is a bountiful resource since it grows so fast. Would you want a car made from it?

It looks really nice; for a car made of seaweed.

Well its not about the particular design its about the material. If it acts like plasic, we could have our smarts made from them.

Seaweed based plastic panels? I guess that would make the Smart green too? a Smarter Smart? I like that idea.

Mother natures provides it all; we just need to figure out how to put it to use.

Actually our forebearers found a use for seaweed that's not in use today.

My house, built in 1836, has seaweed in the walls as insulation.
