What I have in mind for my Graduation Project

I wanna take a look at most of the objects that are used every day and see how we can make them greener and more efficient. I would like to compare them to there less green conterparts and check the out come. I wanna learn what is it that we really get done and recieve by going green. By listeng the ups and the down side of going green, perhaps then we can relax or act on this global warming thang.
