Eco-Friendly Electronic Gadgets

There is a great deal of focus these days on the latest and greatest technology products. Indeed, with more and more advanced gadgets coming out every year, it is both fun and productive to keep an eye out for products that can help us to simplify our lives and maximize our entertainment. Whether you tend to do your shopping at the nearest electronics store, or browsing online at MySmartBuy, you can probably find a number of brand new electronic gadgets to get excited about.

However, in addition to looking for products that benefit you through organization, entertainment, added efficiency, etc., it is also important to keep an eye out for some of the more responsible gadgets on the market – specifically, those that contribute to environmental efforts. Eco-friendly policies and practices are becoming more popular all over the world, and there are now various fun technological products that help to save energy, preserve resources, and generally contribute to environmentally responsible efforts. Here are a few specific products to be aware of.

The Water Pebble
You’ve probably heard that one of the simplest and most important environmental efforts you can make is reducing water consumption. However, once you’re in the shower it can be hard to tell yourself to stop. The Water Pebble is a small electronic device that is designed to track your shower time and water consumption and alert you when it’s time to get out of the shower. You simply place it near the drain in your shower, and it does the work, communicating to you through lights when it’s time to stop showering.

Battery Chargers
Not long ago, rechargeable batteries were significantly more expensive, and most people didn’t bother. However, battery chargers are more affordable now, and can be used for a wider variety of batteries. When thrown away, used batteries have the potential to release harmful materials into the environment, and can have negative effects on their surrounding eco-systems. Using a battery charger keeps you from having to throw out as many used batteries, negating a large portion of this harmful waste. Plus, it saves you money!

Solar Chargers
If like most people you have at least a couple of electronic gadgets that you use on a day-to-day basis (mobile phone, iPod, etc.), a solar charger could save a great deal of energy. Generally, these chargers are small panels that you can place in a sunny spot, allowing them to absorb energy. You can then attach them to your electronic products to transfer that energy into a usable charge, instead of using a typical electronic outlet. Solar chargers are very affordable, and ultimately very responsible accessories for your daily use electronics.
