With the music festival seasons underway one of the worst things for the music fans is getting a flat battery on their mobile phone, the second most annoying thing is a flat battery on the portable music player.
Fortunately the mobile telecoms provider Orange have been thinking about this and have come with a great answer for this serious problem. A wind and solar powered tent, this tent is around seven metre tall and will if the weather conditi

It makes not difference if the cars are green or not, they are still not as green as they could be, the same can go for many other types of transport, but there is one form of transportation that is totally free, eco friendly and now can even produce electricity into the bargain.
So what is this all powerful means of transport? Walking, yes walking is free, keeps you fit and healthy, costs virtually nothing and now according to research will be

Using rechargeable batteries are great for a couple of reason, they can be used over and over again, plus you do not have to keep throwing them away. Batteries in land fill site do not really make for good waste disposal!
But having to charge them up can be a problem if especially if you out, but that is no longer a problem with the Powerfilm Solar Battery Charger, this little gadget will charge up to four AA batteries in eight hours, four hours

It’s great to see celebrities spending the cash on eco friendly things, instead of spending their cash on flashy cars and equally flashy houses. One such celebrity is Matt Damon, he has been spotted test driving a Tesla around the well heeled and wheeled streets of Studio City, Ca.
As Matt no doubt knows this car will take around the streets for around 250 miles on only one charge, which is great as 250 miles is quite a long way. Unfortunately

At times, we often think of ways to be able to make events and occasions as lively as possible. Normally we would use balloons or confetti. Some even throw rice. If you think of them as a whole it is a waste in terms of food and adding trash woes as well to the environment.

We have all been accustomed to cutting our grassy lawns with the usual gasoline-powered lawn mowers. But while this is a common sight we see today, there really has to be something done especially now that gas prices are rising as each day goes by.
Using alternative energy in the form of solar power can really be a good way to power our usual lawn mowers and this machine is sure to help change the usual gas powered lawn mowers by making use of

Looks like Brothers Kevin and Daryl Maas of Washington State are on their way to a Nobel Prize for making electricity from cow manure.
We use a proven, commercialized technology called a manure digester to harvest methane gas from manure. We burn the methane to create electricity, while sending the processed manure back to the farmers as an organic fertilizer now free of pathogens and odor.

Hybrid vehicles may not yet be that spread all over the world and one thing that most consumers are wary about is the matter of power resources from batteries that take the place of fuel. While it is apparent that these batteries can only go a couple of miles depending on the capacity charged on them, it is apparent that reliable lithium-ion batteries must be provided to give future hybrid car owners something to be happy about.

How much land is 16 acres? You could probably easily fit about 10 small houses in an acre so 16 acres is about the size of 1,600 small houses or 64 749.7028 meter squared for those of you in international countries.
Florida Gulf Coast University, a college opened in 1997 with a focus on the environment, was given $8.5 million by politicians to start a big solar farm of 16 acres on its campus.

Like many battery powered things, there is always the risk that at the very moment that you need it the most, the battery is going to be flat or almost flat. This can be a very disappointing thing, especially with something like this shaver called the Wind N Go Freedom Shaver.
As it is a wind up device, the battery s always going to be ready for that nice clean cut shave, with no hassle of charging through a power socket? With all the inconvenie

Keetsa launches a new eco-friendly and green search engine called, Gooef.com.
We decided on acronyms ef for “eco-friendly” since Googreen.com and Gooeco.com were taken. Besides, Gooef is a lot shorter than Googreen.
How to use it?
Well, we’ve handpicked some eco-friendly and green blogs and sites so you only get eco-friendly and green search results.
For example, you can type “designer bags” on Gooef and get a good

Putting up new buildings is only normal in most colleges and universities today and apparently much of this is because they are expanding their curriculum. With that in mind, there is no better way to promote and lead by example at how schools now employ the eco-friendly practices when it comes to going green in campus.
The $35.4 million project includes a lighting system with sensors that will dim lights when it is bright outside and shut off t

Many people understand that if we as a global race carry on the way that we are, then eventually we are going to make this planet virtually uninhabitable. Clearly this may not be happening for some time, happen it will.
This is unless the few can influence the many and change the way that we are going and save the planet in order to save our selves, this is where the green manifesto comes in. But this is no private party; they need your help and

The working environment that most of us find ourselves in can make a big difference when we apply the green practices that most people are doing these days. The office is one place where spend most of our time during weekdays and while there, taking into consideration these tips can be a good recourse to help contribute towards the green standards set forth by eco-friendly ideas we are all encouraged to follow today.

Whether you run a restaurant or a dry cleaner, there are things you can do to lower your carbon footprint. It all starts by taking an assessment of your enterprise and looking around at your various departments. You can do a complete overhaul, or you can start small and build from there.

A British company has won the contract to build the world largest tidal power scheme in south Korea, costing around £500 million the system will make use of the fast flowing tides that will run through the filed of three hundred 60ft tall underwater turbines, which have been fixed to the sea bed.
These turbines are simply dropped into place on the sea bed, which will take them well away from any shipping that use the area. The British company

Buy this for the person who has trouble getting up in the mornings and they will never have a decent excuse for being late for work ever again. The solar powered alarm clock is actually one of the first products to have been awarded the Blue Angel environment label; this is an internationally recognised award.
This clock is so cool that even if there was no sun, the rechargeable battery will last over a year. So this clock has it all covered.

This is not your ordinary DIY job; these panels are made from discarded and broken solar panels that can be found down at the tip or any other place that may take trash. But what the people who have thrown these away do not realise is that these panels are still ok to use. Sure they don’t as clean and shiny as new ones, but they are free and do work!
Tools needed:
To start making solar panels from broken solar cells you need a few things.

Solar power is ok when the sun shines, but wind power is better as there always seems to be a breeze blowing which is all that is needed for this device. The Hymini is the wind powered charger that can put the juice back into your PDA, cell phone, camera, mp3 and iPod.
This is particularly good for people who use bikes to travel on, as the breeze created will force the mini turbine into moving and then can charge up your device while you go. H

Everyone should have one these on their balcony or in their garden, but why solar power? It simple really the solar provides the umbrella with free electricity for the eighteen LED’s that are located on the bars that keep the fabric pulled nice and tight.
If that was not enough there are also eight LED’s that have been placed inside the hub the of the umbrella, the power can be switch from both locations depending on how you want to use it
