Cool Ideas
One of our aims is to see
offices getting greener.
The global warming mug
will help you get the point
across. Pour in hot water
and coastlines give way
to rising oceans: |

With outdoor torches and
heaters being banned in
some countries, it was only
a matter of time before a
solar alternative came on
the market: |

This new chlorine-free
pool cleaner is safer and
more economical. It is
solar-powered and
releases mineral ions: |

The water-saving TriSpa
handheld shower head sucks
in air, mixes it with the
water and accelerates it out.
There are 3 pressurized spray
patterns and it uses only
2.5 GPM! |

DIY Electricity Generation
Start generating your own electricity within
days. Build your own solar and wind power system from simple parts bought in
a hardware store. You can convert your home to free, renewable energy for a
ridiculously small outlay.
Three different training manuals (take
your pick), each of which teaches you how to build and install:
your own wind turbine
your own solar panel
your own bio-energy system

Readymade Electricity Generation
If making your own 1000W or 3000W wind
turbine and 200W solar panel (for a couple of hundred dollars each) is not your thing, you can buy
readymade (albeit less powerful) versions:

Note:
Some of these items are geared towards
110/120V, so would
need a transformer/converter (e.g. for 220/240V or battery).
What
does 1000W represent?
If you have a 1000w (or 1kW) solar energy system, you can create
up to 7kWh of electricity from the sun’s light each summer
day. The average household consumes approximately 20kWh of
electricity per day, which can be reduced to less than 15kWh per
day using simple energy-saving measures. Reducing consumption
and using a basic solar energy system can therefore easily cut
your electricity bill in half.

| New Eco-Friendly TV
The new Samsung UN55B6000 LED TV uses
approximately 40% less power than conventional LCD TVs of the
same size in standard mode. It also has a standby mode that
reduces energy consumption even further - to less than one tenth
of a watt! Plus, it is built with lead-free and mercury-free
components.
