Go Green - Power your Cell Phone with Solar Energy

Real Goods Solar, Inc.

I am a passionate green freak so imagine my happiness when I found this little gadget! Since I teach 3rd grade I want to show the kids how they can make a change in the world. Every action helps - even the small ones, including not using household electricity to charge your cell phone or MP3 player!

It might not seem like much but every little bit counts! Think about it, you charge your cell phone or ipod every day - multiply the cost and amount of carbon generated by 365 days and BAM! you actually can make a difference!

Power your MP3s, Cell Phones, and Laptops with Solar Chargers - great for travel and as low as $79.

This is a very cool company - check out all the amazing solar-powered products they carry - and spread the word!

Here are some additional links to some of their cool (green!) options!
