Fruit could make a 'powerful fuel' and 'Bananamobile' - Articles

^ I found this article on the web after I was considering that since fruit is such a top notch fuel for humans, it might be a good green fuel for our vehicles too.  Thought I'd put it up on 30BaD to share with you all. What do you think?

 ^ 'Get ready for a bananamobile or pineapple wagon'. I got carried away thinking after I found the above article about fruit biofuel, started researching and found this interesting article about how scientists have created a new plastic made from fruit fibre that is 'light, but very strong — 30 per cent lighter and three to four times stronger', how clever is that? The plastic could be used to build car parts for a car that's stronger, lighter and more fuel-efficient.

These are both so interesting and helpful to me as I am just writing a report for college on why the Amazon Rainforest is more viable for development left standing than it is chopped down. There are so many amazing uses I am discovering for fruits that I only thought were possible in my imagination.
