In a survey that examined the color of vehicles to frequency of bird droppings, results showed that owners of green cars were less likely to find bird poo stains (86%) compared to owners of silver cars (92%). While those numbers may seem relatively trivial, consider this: the overall costs of repairing the damage caused by bird droppings is nearly £57 million/a year.The study also found that only twenty percent of drivers remove "bird lime" immediately, whi...

Yeah, the name seems a bit odd considering the not-so-gruesome image of hybrid cars. The green cartoon character and his buddies seem to be pretty big hybrid fans themselves. Since studies out there seem to indicate that many hybrid owners like those around them to know they are saving gas, these little stickers could be a minor stroke of marketing genius.
