The Be.e is a cute little electric scooter, and it goes fast enough — 34 mph — to zip around a nice-sized city. If you’re riding a scooter, rather than a car, you already get points for sustainability. But if you’re riding the Be.e, you get double points, because its body is made out of a combination of bio-resin and flax.

So here is the new green ideal: You are a flaxen beauty, who uses flaxseed lotion, riding a scooter made from flax, while wearing clothing made out of flax, while eating flax seeds. In a smoothie. From a flax-based cup. OK, those don’t exist yet. But just wait.
