This just in: (over-the-wire old-fashioned telegraph squawk) ...doo doo, do do... A bio-fueled boat broke the round-the-world record fueled by fat. That's right, a New Zealand man took a McDonalds Cheeseburger and used it to traverse the globe on a floating piece of fiberglass faster than anyone ever has. Dateline: Friday, June 27th, Sagunto, Spain. This is the TakePart Green Innovation Report (#1). Environmentalists make excuses to qualify technology, "Have you seen this hybrid car? It's just like a regular car, only better for the environment. Well, no more! Not only can green be as good as conventional engineering, it can be better.
