A lot of green technology stuff has been coming across our radar today, but that’s okay. After all, it is through these new green technologies that we can expect to move forward in society. The Febot is really just a concept, but it offers a unique idea for harnessing wind energy.
Saving power is not just a great thing to do for the environment. It can also save you a substantial amount of money. Take, for instance the TrickleStar PC Standby Power Saver. This USB device can help you save cash and put an end to unnecessary power waste.
This USB Gadget will only be available in Hong Kong, but it seems like a really good idea. You connect the device to your computer by means of the USB port. Then, the gadget will monitor your computer’s power usage. All you have to do then is plug in an extension cord from the power strip where all of the computer’s peripherals are plugged in.
As all things green become more and more mainstream, Better Energy Systems have announced an expansion to their tread line, which features cases and bags for tech products made from a super-material concocted out of South American truck tires.
Seagate has just added another drive to their Savvio enterprise HDD line and this time around, it’s faster, greener and smaller. In fact, the Savvio 15K.2 HDD uses less power and has a 115% performance boost when compared to 3.5-inch drives.
Emerging green technologies are always something to get excited about. After all, it will be these technologies that ween our dependence off of fossil fuels. And even though hearing the term “fungus fuel” might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, it’s a real thing that has real potential.
So many people are jumping on the green bandwagon. And while some trends are bad, this is definitely a good one. Neil Young is even getting on board and started his own electric car conversion company.
As more and more companies make strides to be green, Amazon.com is definitely falling right in line with everyone else. In fact, the famous online store is cutting back on their packaging to better the environment.
Up until now, Amazon would ship other people’s products in their brown boxes, even if the products were already in a box. This double-boxing is rather wasteful. Instead of this waste, you can now expect to receive items from Amazon in plain cardboard boxes with the company’s name and sometimes the retailer’s name.
It seems everyone is getting a little bit greener these days. And that’s a good thing, especially when it comes to electronics, which are known to produce harmful toxins and are made from plastics that don’t biodegrade. But now, Panasonic has come up with a new recycling program to put a stop to the waste.
Wow, this thing looks like it belongs in the future! Okay, so 2010 is the future, but you know what I mean. These SmartGauge instrument panels are set to be included in two Ford hybrid models in the year 2010, and if I had any plans of getting a Ford in the next couple of years, I’d be excited.
It seems Australia is really stepping up to the plate when it comes to advancing alternative fuel technology. In fact, it was revealed yesterday that a US firm will be building an electric car charging network for them.
