From Treehugger, their picks for best concept gadgets this year. Some great, some not so much. 20 slides HERE.





UN charges ahead


In a kind of "no-brainer" the UN group responsible for these kinds of things unveils an idea I had seven years ago - one charger for all phones . . . past, present and future.
"The new UCS standard was based on input from the GSMA, which predicts a 50 per cent reduction in standby energy consumption, elimination of 51,000 tonnes of redundant chargers, and a subsequent reduction of 13.6 million tonnes in greenhouse gas emissions each year."
51,000 TONS OF CHARGERS and 13.6 MILLION TONS OF GREENHOUSE GAS saved? Sounds good to me. More HERE.
