ReGeneration Roadtrip: Google juice

A quick stop at Google HQ 1

Regeneration RoadTrip 08

During our travels in the Bay Area, Todd and I ended up near Mountain View and took the opportunity to make a quick stop at Google HQ. We were hoping for a tour and maybe a lunch at their super-sustainable cafeteria, but apparently the place is closed to the public so all we ended up with was a free bottle of juice.

Well, that and a quick little video of the parking lot -- which is actually a lot more exciting than it sounds. The parking lot is covered with solar panels and even includes plugs for any electric vehicles that need charging. Talk about some juice!

Check out the video below:

Sarah van Schagen is Grist’s Seattle editor.

    Get Set, We're Going Down The Drain

    GOOG is half what it was less than a year ago.

    Yeah...where, Google?
