Green Christmas

Posted: December 23, 2011 Category: Blog, General

Going paperless is obviously a theme that we have taken on, and we might as well encourage that theme with great Christmas gift ideas that do just that. Well, there is mainly one product that we are focusing on and that would be the new tablet phenomenon that we (1st world countries) seem to be experiencing.

Tablets have re-vamped the technology industry with their portability, versatility, and efficiency. They look like an e-reader, but function like a computer, which gives the owner the best of both worlds. In the spirit of environmental consciousness, these tablets are proving very effective to become paperless solutions for multitudes of people such as business people, students, avid readers, etc. They have replaced the need for notepads, books, magazines, newspapers, and many other wasteful paper printed information. New technologies are also allowing for more and more ways to enhance the paperless efficiency of tablets.

Looking for something to add to that tablet gift purchase? A new product called the LilyPad has been created as a case/charger for the well known iPad product. This case proves to be a very efficient charger using solar panels to charge the device. You’re probably asking yourself “What if I mainly use my tablet indoors?”. Well, this is the great part; the LilyPad uses indoor light to generate a charge as well!

Lastly, have found a few more links that may just help your “Green” Christmas come true, such as eco-friendly and green gift wrapping, more eco-friendly gift ideas, and this great toolbar for your web browser that can help you select green gifts with ease.

Happy Holidays!
