Eco-Friendly Gadgets for a Greener Earth

You may love gadgets and think that you can never be ‘green’, but you can easily be a part of an eco-friendly environment by using gadgets that are easy on the environment. Going green doesn’t have to be an inconvenience and you don’t have to deviate from your normal routine if you follow a few simple steps like making informed purchasing decisions. As a first step, take a look at these three gadgets that you can incorporate into your lifestyle and make the world a greener place.

A Solar Charger

There’s nothing more benevolent than the sun when it comes to radiating energy. Also, solar power is the most environmentally-friendly source of energy. Plug your gadgets into a solar-powered charger for best results. There are absolutely no restrictions on the amount of energy you consume from the sun. You can use this to charge your laptop, cell phone, television, or MP3 player. Check out Solio or Voltaic’s solar chargers for good quality solar chargers.

Conserve Surge Protector

This product is right out of last year’s CES conference. The conserve surge protector got the PM Editor’s Choice Award, proving it to be the pick of the exhibition. This device cuts out the energy running through unused gadgets, and brings down energy waste as well. The conserve surge protector reduces greenhouse emissions by a large amount.

Green Plug
Here’s another highlight from the CES 2008 conference. It’s from a relatively unknown company called Green Plug, which displayed a technology that’s supposed to improve energy efficiency. It’s all about getting the maximum efficiency out of energy by cutting down on power usage in vampire gadgets that suck energy out of power points while they are not in use.

Using any of these three innovative gadgets won’t take too much time out of your day and before you realize it you’ll be contributing to the go green campaign in your own small way.
