It’s Earth Day 2009 – and everyone from President Obama to people are hardly know (yet call friends) on FaceBook are demanding you make your life as green as possible today. Well Automopedia has a sure fire way for you to not only Go Green, but also be the greenest mofo on the block. If only you could really grow a car like a Chia Pet – but that’s exactly what some around the globe have done. Whether for art of for the hell of it, people have turned their rides into rolling pastures. Needless to say we don’t recommend trying this on your uncle’s new BMW – he may get a little peeved.

This Green Covered…Mazda…(maybe?) can be seen around the streets of China and gets 1500 sneezes to the gallon if you’re allergies are acting up. Probably not a great idea covering the front windows.

Montreal Zoo’s promotional Honda Element is more like a rolling mini golf course – but those wacky French Canadians sure love a grassy vehicle, as the lawn-truck (seen below) is also a staple of Rue St. Laurent.

This mulch covered VW Bug was apparently a prank done to one well deserving ball breaker. I hope they made the friend responsible break out their weed whacker.

If you added some comfortable Astroturf seat covers things may not be so bad. Forget that fancy leather cushioning luxury brands like Mercedes and Audi are always bragging about – grass seats are the way to go in 2009!

I mean, I know the Pacific Northwest gets too much rain, but when your car is beginning to get overrun by weeds you may want to call Lawn Doctor. Another grass-covered VW (Passat, it looks like) in Washington State is about the smoothest (feeling) ride you can get out there.

Before Honda decided to take on the hybrid car segment, they went in another direction with the term “Green Cars” and created a completely grass and dandelion Honda Civic. Sales were less than enthusiastic, however…especially during Vermont’s mud season.
