You don’t have to be a Shrek-like Ogre, to show your ‘greenness’- I mean your concern for environment. Just buy one (or all, if you like) of these cool and innovative eco-products.

For fruit-lovers: Fruit Powered Clock

Digital clocks are in but now you don’t need to run them on batteries! A calendar & digital clock powered by fruits is the latest on shelves. You just need a banana, lemon, orange, apple or any other fresh fruit and the supplied components in this fruit-clock kit. Voila! You have an impressive-to-look-at and fully functional digiclock of your own powered by the acid in the fruits. The principle is the same as discovered by Alessandro Volta that, electric current can flow if copper and zinc are separated with an acid. Volta used the ascorbic acid in lemon juice to work out his experiments. And now, with this amazing fruit clock you can teach your kids some basic science as well! Buy one for yourself at Ecotopia.
