What is the ultimate eco-friendly gift? Solar panels for your roof would be nice but not nearly as sexy as the 41 mpg 2008 Smart ForTwo from Daimler Chrysler. I know it may be a big gift but think of how much good you would be doing both for the environment and for the millions of other commuters driving around your urban jungle. I live in Los Angeles, probably one of the worst driving cities in the country, and would love to see all of the huge SUVs replaced with Smart cars. This will never happen in my lifetime but I can dream. In the meantime, I've moved walking-distance to work so I have managed to escape the hour I used to spend every morning and evening in the car. The Smart ForTwo Pure starts at less than $12,000 and is a great gift idea. If someone gives me a Smart, I just might consider driving to work again.
