There is no doubt about it: the best way to reach an environmentalist's heart is by choosing nature-conscious gifts. Even if we are unable to afford a smart-car, or solar heating system we can still find environmentally responsible gifts or toys made of recycled materials. To name every nature conserving thingamajig is impossible, but we can surely give you a few good hints.
Here are just a few eco friendly gadget ideas:
Flashlights can be quite a useful gadget to have. An amazing Shake Flashlight requires no batteries or wires, just shake for one minute and you’ll get 30 minutes of continuous bright light. Other versatile and reliable light sources can be solar powered like camping lanterns and flashlights. Some come in durable ABS plastic making them water-resistant.
Prairie grass can be cultivated in a resin frame and will give any room an outdoorsy look, but plants can also be used to help purify the air. The Bel-Air purifying system utilizes the natural recycling qualities of the plant to absorb toxic compounds in the air.
Enjoy a luxury, spa/resort shower from the comfort of your own bathroom yet still reduce your water consumption with classy low-flow showerheads.
You can cook food of all types in 2 to 4 hours with a Solar Sport Oven (with or without reflectors). It effortlessly concentrates the renewable heat of the sun to roast meats, steam vegetables, bake breads and cookies, and prepare rice, soups and stews. This gadget is ideal for backyard use, camping, boating and picnicking.
The planet can be saved and it can start at the home by installing a recycling station under the sink or in a mud room. This can be anything from a 3-high tower unit made from cheap plastic department store tubs to high-end cabinets with separate bins.
Screw-In Motion Sensor Switches are very energy efficient, easy to install switches that can be used with light bulbs of up 100 Watts. When in-house traffic is detected within a 360-degree range, the motion sensor will automatically turn on the light bulbs, and then turns them back off up to 4 minutes after movement ceases.
Make all your gadgets greener by using rechargeable batteries, find Energy Star labeled power adapters and battery chargers, or better yet, use solar-powered chargers (anything solar powered for that matter) |
