Green Technology Toys

Last day we looked at practical everyday use gifts which you can give others and which will help them reduce their energy bills. But going green can be fun too.

Great Green Technology Toys for Under $25!

The Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug, Happy Hopping Solar Powered Frog and Solar Robot are great educational tools which can all be bought together for a total price that is less than $40. Individually they are all less than $20.

The Uncle Milton Solar Racers Set is a great toy which children can share and play with outside. It uses real solar cells to convert sunlight into speed and does not work with internal light sources. However the Solar Powered Helicopter Kit really showcases the powerful use of solar cells for it can be powered with even a desk lamp. These are all wonderful teaching aides for children to educate them on clean energy and are all available for under $25.

If you have a little more money to spend you can look at the Hydrocar. This little toy highlights the power and possibilities of clean energy technology. By simply adding water to the tanks, oygen and hydrogen are produced and stored with the reversible Polymer Electrolyte Membrane and used to fuel the car. This toy is not suited for young children and is actually a great toy for an adult.

Gifting for Your Pocket and the Earth

There is no doubt that coming up with the perfect gift this season is a challenge, simply because many people are trying to watch and cut back on their spending. Well SolarGreenEarth is here to show you that going green not only saves the earth but also saves your pocket both in the immediate and in the long term future.


Many people love the idea of going green however not everyone may be able to afford an in-door garden and even if they could, they may actually be interested in green conscious products which they may practically use everyday.
Did you know that compact fluoroscent light bulbs save 75% less energy than incandescent light bulbs and last ten times as long? Well maybe you might not have previously considered something like a light bulb to be a christmas gift but with energy savings like that and the current shape of the economy I am sure that your gift recipient will be quite thankful. This is also a perfect gift to give yourself!

Then there is the iPod USB AC Adapter/Charger from MusicPower which can be used to charge many other USB devices like Zune as well, the Energy Star Compliant Synaps 14" LCD monitor, or the Energy Star Compliant Ceiling Fan.
These are all perfect practical, everday use gifts that people need and which will all help them reduce their energy bill as well.
