Famed progressive thinker and Google co-founder Larry Page is working
out the details as he plans his new 6,000-square-foot, eco-friendly
house on an acre sized lot in Palo Alto.
The Google house will include
solar panels, materials that do not emit toxic chemicals, and paving
that allows the rain to seep through, which is a major plus in
California, where water planners are looking to fill up aquifers.
Building this eco-house adds to Page’s forward thinking work in areas
such as alternative energy companies (he was a major investor in Tesla
Motors, which developed the Tesla Roadster, a 220-mile (350 km) range
battery electric vehicle.)
Larry Page, with the help of Google’s
philanthropic arm, promotes the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric cars
and other alternative energy investments.

Even Google Tycoon- Larry Page is concern of the environment for planning to have an eco-friendly mansion instead of the conventional type of houses. Good for him.
The adoption of plug in hybrid cars still have a long way to go before it becomes accepted by the general populate in terms of cost and adaption.
Advertising revenues from AdWords generate almost all of the company's profits
The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while both attended Stanford University. Together, Brin and Page own about 16 percent of the company's stake. Google was first incorporated as a privately held company on September 4, 1998, and its initial public offering followed on August 19, 2004.
Hope to see more people become 'greener'.
