Solio portable charger

Solio charger

A portable, solar-powered charger, the Solio, is available from Better Energy Systems to power cell phones and iPods.

About the Solio, they claim:

The amount of energy used to create your Solio has been negated by removing unsustainable processes and, with the help of Future Forests, by planting trees in a protected, bio-diverse, sustainable forest. This means that your Solio is a net producer of energy from the very start.

Solio has been designed with a focus on sustainability: the ability of the environment to assimilate and transform any emissions from the manufacturing of Solio into a positive input that allows other earth systems to flourish. We take great care to ensure that all components come from sustainable and ethical sources.

Just in case you were afraid cutting down on battery production or non-renewable energy usage isn’t cool enough to be seen with this crazy thing, the following more-dazzling-than-you folks beg to differ:

Solio ladies Minnie, Gwyneth, and Jessica look better than you sporting carbon-neutral technology

Minnie Driver read a children’s book for charity before walking out with a Solio portable iPod charger.”

“Another very special product only available here on the Coldplay Shop - an X & Y limited edition Solio solar powered iPod charger…”
You just know the lead singer’s wife Gwyneth Paltrow has one.

Well… couldn’t find a reference of Jessica Biel using the Solio, but I heard (sources unconfirmed) it happened and surely she’d look better than me with it.

Thanks to Ellen for suggesting this post
