Eco-gadgets galore
It's only January, but on ecostreet.com, there's already a list of the most desirable eco-gadgets of 2008. Here's a sampling:The NoPoPo battery, which is manufactured in Japan, doesn't contain anything that could give rise to three-eyed amphibians, or the like; NoPoPos house no lead, cadmium, or mercury. Hallelujah! What they apparently may contain is urine or beer. So just think of them as house party batteries.
Green Plugs and Fashionation's Recycled Speakers are two other list-making items I like. Green Plugs facilitate communication between electricity-sapping devices and outlets by regulating electrical flow. They work to eliminate the problem of "phantom power."
The speakers, meanwhile, make no claims on energy savings, but at least they're light on materials use -- all components are 100% recycled.
