How does the monocled Mr. Peanut move from place to place? With the latest Planters Nutmobile, a vehicle that is simply as green-and nutty-as they come, what with its interior reclaimed oak flooring and bevy of other eco-conscious features, including a wind turbine and solar cells. The dimpled vehicle also sports recycled windows and window frames, a recycled windshield, VOC-free vinyl graphics, non-toxic and solvent-free epoxies, an engine that runs on a mixture of biodiesel fuel and diesel fuel, and a catalytic converter to meet EPA emission standards. You might think it would be tough to bring a cartoon peanut bedecked in top hat, monocle, gloves and spats into the 21st century, but Planters makes it look easy by giving the anthropomorphic fruit a contemporary carriage that's green to the teeth. Looks like the ball is in the Wienermobile's court.
