Ford

  • The American company was the first Green company in the world not because it was first to develop environment-friendly cars, but due to its factories. The Ford factories until 1939 were powered by human and animal manure. This was a tremendous move by the company to go green at that point of time.
  • Another interesting and unknown fact about Ford is that it used to buff up the vehicles with Ostrich feathers in order to make sure that there isn’t any extra static electricity on them once they were rolled out of the factories.
