Samsung Just Took Windows To a Hol Nutha Levuhl!

CES 2012 has had some seriously cool new gadgets that have come out but my favorite has to be the new window by Samsung.  Why is this my favorite you ask?  Simply because windows are not very amazing on their own.  However, if you’re Samsung, and you take it to a hol nutha levuhl, they suddenly become amazing.  That is the beauty of technology.

The one thing that caught my ear the most was the “Energy Efficiency” of this product.  They supposedly have a solar aspect built into the window that will help power the electronics inside the window.  If this works as described it sounds pretty cool, but I would want to dive more into it before that became a reason for me to buy it.  I would hate for it to be just another marketing ploy.

Bottom line is , CES has done it again, and it is good to see that manufactures see the need to include green aspects to their products.  With the technology companies having the ability to drastically improve their products from year to year, the more the public yearns for energy efficiency and environmentally friendly features, the better they will be, and the sooner they will be available to the public.

New Iphone 4s? Save The Planet!

by Adam October 16th, 2011 - No Comments »

Were you one of the courageous early risers the other day to grab up an Iphone 4s?

If so, you are now responsible for saving the planet… How does that work?  Sadly most of us who get a new phone will quickly discard the old one to the circular file, without thinking about the repercussions .  This means olds phones, batteries, chargers, accessories, are all going into the trash and off to a landfill near you!

Most folks don’t realize how many toxic metals and chemicals that are used in the making of cell phones.  While contained in your pocket, next to your ear, and on your nightstand, we are protected! (Are we?)  Once the phone is discarded to the landfill where it will be broken, mashed, and compacted, all those not so friendly metals and toxins can seep into the ground and affect our planet.

So what can you do to help?  Just make a choice, that you will stand up for the planet and recycle.  There are many companies out there that will send you a postage paid envelope, where you can send them your old phone.  Not only that, but some companies may even pay you for it.

Of course, you are the type that wants to take it one step further, and really make a change!  So check out Eco-Cell, where you can actually set up a cell phone recycling program for your office or business.  This company will help you advertise and really make a change.

Once you get your program started, please post it here!
