Water Pebble
This is the only one out of the seven eco friendly gadgets that helps you be proactive! You place this little gadget near the drain of your shower and it’ll monitor your water usage! It measures your first shower and uses it as a starting point. It’ll blink different colors, like a traffic light, to indicate different stages of the shower. Green light indicates the start of your shower, while yellow indicates halfway finished and red indicates the end of your shower. Each time you take a shower, the Water Pebble will reduce the length of your shower, therefore reducing the amount of water you use. How cool is that? Find it at Amazon.
Hand-Crank Flashlight & Radio
Instead of needing batteries or using solar power, this little flashlight generates light when you crank it. Plus, you can also listen to the radio! Seems a bit old school, but heck, if it works and helps to save the environment, I’d go for it! It’s also optional to charge it via a mini USB cord, which comes included. This would be perfect for when the power goes out or while camping! Find it at Brookstone and give it a try.
Frequently asked questions
Solar Panel Backpack
I didn’t even know these existed until now! But, how could you go wrong? You’re always carrying your gadgets with you, so why not charge them via solar power? Sounds like a pretty neat concept, right? There’s a few different types on the market, so shop around for the best one that’ll suit your needs!
Water Powered Alarm Clock
I can’t even express how much I love this eco friendly gadget! It’s not only affordable, but perfect for college students (like me!) or anyone else who just wants to be environmentally friendly! Just fill up the alarm clock with regular tap water and it’ll run perfectly fine! No batteries or electricity needed! The clock works by converting ions in the water to energy. Plus, you won’t have to replace the water for about six month! Wow! Check it out on Amazon.
Nest
Program this thermostat to the temperature you want your house to stay at when you’re away and this gadget will accommodate your needs (and save you money too!). Setting your thermostat to your needs is a great way to cut energy costs (and be eco friendly!). Find it at Nest.com.
