Eco-Friendly Power Gadgets

So we have our stuff, and some of it requires power. How about some environmentally friendly power stuff to go with it? Thanks to supply and demand, and all that talking we can do to manufacturers with our wallets, more and more enviro options continue to emerge.

I do believe that some alternative energy technologies and products are not brought to market as fully or as quickly as they could be however. Just look at the many decades long delays of electric cars, talk of new technologies bought up, and held up by oil companies fearing a loss in their profits and market control. But the more we speak with our buying choices, the more that demand must be filled, and cannot be denied. As manufacturers see greater profits (and goodwill) at the end of the eco-development tunnel, we will keep getting more eco-options. Much overused cliché, but money does talk.

More than ever before, we have greater recycled and recycling options, hybrid cars, and even cooking oil fueled vehicle options. The list goes on and on. But so too does the list of disposable products, like all those little cotton swabs with plastic sticks. I actually just found some that were billed as “New! Paper Sticks.” Who would have thought such a thing possible? What’s old is new again I suppose. Still, whatever marketing campaign it takes, I’m just glad to see those paper sticks again.

It’s the best of all worlds when something is not only enviro-friendly, but also cost-friendly and user-friendly. Far easier to make a change to a less damaging alternative, when it’s also affordable and more convenient. And if it’s cute to boot? Happy camper time. That leads me to a new take I’ve found on rechargeable batteries.

Instead of having to look for that often elusive batter recharger, someone has now had the ingenious, not to mention cute idea of actually putting the charger inside the battery itself. A standard USB plug is built right into the USBCell battery, ready to be plugged and charged via a USB port. No more hunting around for that charger, or giving up the search and resorting to alkaline batteries.

How about free power? Once you’ve bought the stuff to acquire it that is. While also chargeable via a USB connection, the thing that impresses me is that it can also fully be charged by the sun, and be ready for convenient use in as little as 8 hours. While that’s longer than the 3 hour USB charge time, it is cost-free power for both us and the planet.
