Acer announced two LCD displays today in Japan that are actually good for the environment. This eco-friendly focus allows you to have a nice display and feel comfortable in knowing the environment isn’t suffering because of it.

Anything that can help you save energy or protect the environment is bound to do pretty well these days with so many people’s minds on being green. But the new Q-SOUND headphones are just plain practical in that they are solar-powered.

Well, you don’t see this everyday. The iUnika GYY is a very environmentally-friendly netbook that is actually powered by solar energy. This definitely makes it stand out from the pack and the netbook itself is lightweight weighing only 700grams.

Considering how hungry today’s gadgets are for power, it’s no surprise most geeks break out into a cold sweat when they’re away from a mains socket.

LG added to its LCD collection today with a brand new line of displays. The W53 SMART displays are great for watching movies, but they also possess another attribute that is becoming more and more popular in today’s market: they’re environmentally conscious.

Greenpeace is known for their environmental work around the world, but they also release tech industry rankings each quarter that show how individual companies are doing in terms of reducing their carbon footprints.
Sony has decided to take a step toward becoming more environmentally-friendly. They’ve just announced that their DVD and Blu-ray packaging will start to slim down and make a goal of using less resources to contain their products.
Most movies come in larger plastic cases with cardboard sleeves over them these days. But this is just plain wasteful. Starting immediately, Sony will use 80% of the plastic that is currently used. That’s a significant cut back. Plus, the box art will be made from recycled paper. The plastic wrap will not be as thick and the cardboard sleeve will be nixed altogether.
With less packaging materials, it will also cut fuel and resources used to ship the products to stores, saving the company money. The first Sony movie to have the honor of being green is “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” as you could no doubt tell from the picture to the right.
