Owned by Toyota, Lexus is leading the pack by being first to produce the first "luxury hybrid" car; the first V-8 luxury hybrid sedan of its kind to hit the road. Further promoting a sustainable lifestyle, Lexus is also teaming up with Fairmont Hotels & Resorts to create Lexus Hybrid Living Suites - one at the Fairmont DC and the other at the Fairmont San Francisco.

One man trying to make a difference is Ed Gillespie, who just returned home after 381 days on the road (from his home in the south London through Europe, Mongolia, Japan, Australia, French Polynesia, Mexico and Central America). He decided to ditch airport security altogether and see the world from the hump of a camel, the bridge of a cargo ship and the seat of a bicycle - none by plane. His blog Slow Travel discusses his slow and low carbon travels, which cites "A round the world trip without flying! Employing every mode of transport available and reveling in the slow movement through landscape, culture, people and language rather than just passing over it all in an aluminum sausage!" His point was to move great distances with the smallest carbon footprint possible.
