If you love technology and you’re also eco-conscious, it can be difficult to find products that you’re satisfied with. Technology is usually associated with a great deal of waste and damage to the earth – but as people become more and more environmentally-conscious, so do the gadgets they create. Below, you’ll find 3 convenient gadgets that will live up to your eco-standards.
Most of us have to get up in the morning, which requires the use of an alarm clock. The typical alarm clock has to stay plugged in constantly in order to keep time and do its job. Not anymore. The Bedol Water Clock runs on 100% natural power – water!
Unlike the earlier models, the Bedol Water Alarm Clock doesn’t require added salt or lemon to keep the time perfectly; it only requires water. Change the water every 12 to 16 weeks to keep it running like new…and the clock keeps the time while you’re refilling it as well! Not only is this something you should have on your bedside table, but it’s a perfect gift for friends and loved ones, too!
Telephones are infamous for sucking energy even when they’re not in use, but Siemens has a solution for this. The ECO DECT models use 60% less energy and you have the ability to switch the telephone to eco-mode, which reduces the transmission from the base to the handset more than 80%. According to Siemens, this technology can reduce CO2 emissions by 13.5 kg per household in a year’s time. There are a few different models, and you can purchase the phones in the color that suits you best. In addition, all Gigaset phone models are lead-free.
