Green Gadgets
If you are looking for the perfect gift for the green geek in your house, or you are just looking for green gadgets, you are in the right place. With all the interest in living green, the technology producers have changed their manufacturing processes and they started creating eco-friendly products, for a greener lifestyle. The tech supply available on the market in practically endless, and you can find thousands of products which can reduce your life's impact on the environment. I selected the most useful gadgets and innovations, which are worth to grab your attention.
There is a gadget which brought into your house will help you decrease the energy use in your house, and not raise it, as you may think. DIY Kyoto has developed Wattson, which uses very little electricity to help you save money of your electric bill. You have to plug a transmitter into your fuse box, or in the electric meter, and it will send information to Wattson through a wireless connection. It will display the amount of electricity used, and it if it a low value, Wattson will glow a blue light, a calming color. When you use a lot of electric devices in the same time, and the amount of used electric energy will grow, the color will be changed into an angry red. I think it is interesting because it uses the universal unwritten color code to warn you about the waste of energy. You can purchase it for $256 and be sure that it is a low power device.
One of the battles on laptop market is given also on battery life. Each producer is trying to prolong the life of the batteries in the laptop he produces, but in reality, the technology seems to fall a bit short, and if you want to spend some money on a laptop, you should think about battery life too, because you don't want a device which needs to be plugged in and charged very often. Actually, you want a laptop because it is portable, right? Here is the "SolarRoll", a flexible solar panel which can roll and fit in your backpack or laptop case and which is also waterproof. It is very useful because you can use now the laptop in the park or in remote locations, not only in a coffee shop or in an electricity hot spot. This device is not specially designed to power only laptops. It can support other devices too, like cellphones, radios, cameras and even the car battery.
This alarm-clock doesn't have the coolest design ever, but it has the "eco-friendly" characteristic, and this makes it special. This alarm clock has a battery pack, visible on the side, which powers the clock for several months. I like this gadget because, for a proper functioning, you have to add more water right from the tap. It features include the alarm, a countdown timer, temperature and a gravity sensor which allows you to switch from function to function by changing the clock's position. This product is entirely recyclable and you don't have to buy batteries for it. Never!
Even if this is kind of creepy, you can be green even after you die! Now you can ask to be buried in your favorite place in the park, because this coffin is made from harden, 100% recycled paper, which offers a totally non toxic burial, perfect for use in greenfield locations.
You can live a green life from the beginning to the last moments, and even after death, because there are plenty of gadgets which were designed to make your life easier and more eco-friendly. Think about the future and about the next generations, and stop wasting resources!
