The Dynamo Flashlight ($16) is a cute little light source in the shape of pig, small enough to carry with you at all times.
No need to worry about running out of batteries either - simply squeeze the lever on the side and pump for 20 seconds to receive 8 minutes worth of light.
Dynamo Flashlight is available in green, blue or pink and comes with handy wrist strap. Made of plastic and measures (in inches) 3.75 L x 1.5 H.
Yes, it’s time for yet another eco-friendly wind-up gadget that runs without the needs of using any batteries whatsoever (there is an USB charge option).
The Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player ($346) features an 1.8 inch LCD screen, 2 GB of internal memory and a SD Memory Card slot for external memory.
The environmental friendly Solar Palm Radio with LED Torch ($16) measures 6.5 x 10.5 x 1.5 cm and lets you enjoy listening to radio from both the AM and FM band. You have three different sources of power to choose from: Solar Cell, Rechargeable built-in battery and/or one AAA battery.
The LED flashlight is located at the bottom of the portable radio.
How about having a desktop gadget that will keep your paper stuck together, saving you both money and environment, and is also looking good/cute on your desk? That’s pretty much what these staple free staplers will do:
These staple-free-staplers cut a small flap and a notch in the paper, then it folds the flap back into the notch which keeps the paper stuck together.

Nigel’s wonderful eco store has just released a series of solar powered lighting kits; Solar Mate 1-3, with prices starting at $163.
Bring light into your garden shed, garage, summer house, greenhouse, or anywhere that has no mains power, with a Solar Mate complete solar powered lighting kit. In each box is a solar panel, fixings, cables and lights - they’re easy to install and contain everything you need to get a solar powered lighting system installed in a short space of time - just add a storage battery.
This red Solar Race Car ($24) is a great example of a fun toy that doesn’t require any batteries. All it takes is some sun, which currently here in Sweden is as easy to find as an iPhone. It’s impossible, in other words.
There’s no stop to what kind of ideas people come up with when it comes to recycling stuff, which of course is a great thing.
The latest example of creating something useful from electronic waste is the Silvana Washing Machine Table ($503) from Nigel’s Eco Store. A piece of furniture made from a recycled washing machine drum.
Under the frosted glass surface sits a low energy light bulb “producing a beautiful ambient glow and casting beams of light from her polished stainless steel body.”
If you’re not one of those bling-loving computer geek neurologists, maybe this Eco Friendly Bamboo Optical Mouse ($33) will make your day instead. It will most likely feel better under your hand too.
The unique bamboo colour offers a natural beauty and style ideal for homes and offices - an alternative to the usual plastic surround… Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest growing plants on the planet…

With the Wind Up LED Camp Light ($40) you will never need to worry about your camping lamp running out of power. No need to worry about changing bulb either, as it uses LEDs.
One minute with the eco-friendly wind mechanism will give you thirty minutes of ambient light. A full wind-up (whatever that is) will give you four hours of light, or 48 on Nightlight mode - and most likely an urge to take a shower.
