Lotus’ Eco Elise Blooms With Hemp Roots

Since industrial hemp is still banned in the US, it’s fallen to our friends across the pond to use it to change the world. Brit-based Lotus Cars presented the Eco Elise at the British International Motor Show, a sports car mostly made out of hemp. Lotus is attacking the environmentally-damaging manufacturing process of cars, instead of just fuel emissions, with wool and sisal carpets, water-based paints, and local materials. But the dashboard will also tell you how to maximize your fuel economy and minimize your carbon emissions. These dashboard confessionals might even be better than Chris Carrabba’s new album in the fall.
