When I first started living by myself, I finally began to feel the pain of the many bills which come along with living by yourself - gas, electricity, cable, internet, etc. At first, I began looking for ways to shave pennies off of these bills, but this sort of spurred my now strong views on conservation and recycling. Now, instead of unplugging my microwave when I'm not using it simply as an attempt to save a few cents per month on my electricity bill, I do it even more so to save precious wattage that would otherwise be used to power that little clock that I never check. In addition to the measures I've adopted into my life to save time, energy, carbon dioxide, and money, I'm always looking for new ways to reduce my carbon footprint more and more.
This is my dream tool, realized.
The HYmini is, according the the website "A revolutionary way of capturing renewable power for your iPod, mobile phones, PDA, mp3, digital camera." It's a small tool for capturing green energy at any time for use rather than plugging in your charger yet again.
The first device captures wind energy.
You can even attach it to you bike or arm to capture wind energy while out exercising:
The second is a mini solar panel and you can buy multiple panels and link them together to harness more energy at once:
And neither one is very expensive. Amazing. It's about time these things existed more prominently in popular culture.
