The Consumer Electronics Show is wrapping up in Las Vegas today, and while the event is kind of a celebration of devices that are slowly killing the planet, we're starting to see companies pay a little bit of attention to green technology. While computer chips are getting faster and faster, for example, chip makers are also working to make them more energy efficient. Sure, they're not necessarily doing it for the environment, they're doing it because customers want their mobile phone and laptop batteries to last longer. But hey, it'll do.

CES has also put on some green airs this year. The show's producers are donating money to renewable energy, reforestation, and energy efficiency projects to offset the carbon generated by the show itself. Attendees are also being asked to make a small donation to offset the carbon generated by their travel to and within Las Vegas.

The show also took the same efforts to make the show floor about as environmentally friendly as your typical office workspace. Recycling bins were placed throughout the floor, CES flyers were printed on recycled paper, and leftover publications will be recycled.

But enough about the event. What we really care about are the gadgets. So without further ado, Green Daily takes a look at some of the most intriguing gadgets and trends announced at this year's CES.
