Who would've thought that cutting-edge technology and an environmentally-friendly attitude could work together, hand-in-hand? I certainly didn't, until entering the Greener Gadgets Expo on February 1st, that is. Up until now, I had always thought that the regular use of solar power for everyday tasks was only implemented by barefoot granola enthusiasts with a penchant for Rastafarian hairstyles. Not only was I wrong on all fronts, it turns out that being environmentally-minded is a whole lot easier and cost effective than most people think. Courtesy of Greener Gadgets, here are a few ways that you too can go green.
Hymini
The premise of this gizmo sounds so simple, it's a wonder that no one had thought of this sooner. The Hymini is a device that uses wind and solar power to recharge your cell phone, mp3 player, and digital camera. All you need to do is hang out outdoors for a little bit, and you'll have enough power to give your mp3 player another two hours of play time, take 60 digital photos, or add 12 extra minutes of talk time to your phone. The Hymini comes in a variety of colors, and since the base unit is just $50, you'll have no excuse for not going green.
