Save the planet in 2009…

The Gadget Show  Tuesday 30 December 2008

Save the planet in 2009… … with these top environment-friendly eco-saving gadgets!

1 Tefal Quick Cup Are you ready for this? The Tefal Quick Cup allows users to have hot or cold water in three seconds flat! That’s about three times faster than Usain Bolt can run 100metres. It saves time and energy by heating up water for just one cup at a time. We can smell that sweet scent of eco-victory!

2 Freeplay Wind-Up DAB Radio Just crank up this digital bad boy and you can listen to Chris Moyles hiss-free. Actually think we’d rather have the hiss. Anyway, it doesn’t take batteries, so you can listen to the radio for as long as your arm can stand it.

3 HP Compaq 2710p Laptop For eco-buffs, this HP laptop uses much less energy than a standard laptop, thanks to the ultra-low voltage processor. It’s also decently specced out with a six and a half hour battery and 100 GB hard drive and 1GB RAM.

4 Boardman Road Comp You can’t claim to be an eco-warrior in our books unless you own a bicycle. The Boardman Road Comp is part of the Olympic champion Chris Boardman range (so you know it’s going to be fast) and it weighs just 8.9kg. You’ll be dodging London taxis, buses and David Cameron tout de suite!

5 The Freeloader Solar Charger Worried about your carbon footprint? Then you need some eco-friendly carpet cleaner to get the stains out. The Freeloader Solar Charger is a portable charging system that powers handheld devices, such as your mobile phone. It’s small, convenient, and best of all it’ll leave you feeling ecologically smug after using it.
