But what if you could light up your yard without causing your energy bill to shoot up for a month or two?  Well, there’s one easy way of doing that—purchase the Solar Holiday Lights kit.  This kit contains everything you need to make your home or yard look festive without causing your energy bill to become unmanageable.  Just set up the small solar power collector in a place where it will get plenty of light during the day.  At night, this stored energy is used to power the strings of holiday lights that are attached to the collector.

The Solar Holiday Lights kit comes in two different colors: you can have either all red lights or all white.  You can also select different lengths of light strings so you have exactly the amount of lights you need.  Of course, if you need more, you can always get two or three Solar Holiday Light kits.  You could even use them indoors if you placed the collector in a window where it will get a lot of sunlight.

If you love decorating for the holidays, the Solar Holiday Light kit is the way to go.  It makes your energy bill a little less without taking away any of the festivity of your décor.

Well, now there’s an interesting new solution: the water-powered calculator.  It truly runs off of nothing but water—no batteries and no sunlight needed.  The calculator uses innovative new technology that makes use of the energy found in water molecules to provide power to the calculator.  All you have to do is remove the reservoir tubes, fill them up with plain, standard tap water, and you’ll have two months’ worth of power.

The water-powered calculator is completely pollution-free and drains no resources or creates any waste.  What’s even better, the calculator can also double as an LCD clock.  While there’s no alarm function on it, you can use this function to time yourself on math tests or as a way of keeping track of your study time.  The calculator features all of the standard, basic functions that all calculators do, including memory functions, percent, square root, and more.  If you know a math nerd who needs a fun, new toy to play with, the water-powered calculator will make a great gift.  Of course, it’s also very useful for those who use a calculator so much that they often have to purchase new batteries.

The Solar Hat Fan doesn’t come with a hat.  Instead, it’s a small fan with a solar panel attached.  Both are connected to a clip that attaches to any hat that has a stiff brim, such as a baseball cap The solar panel can gather up enough energy after just a few minutes in the sun, and then the little fan powers up and blows nice, cooling air right on your face.  While the fan does work best in direct sunlight, it can still power the fan even if it’s slightly cloudy.  The adjustable mount lets you aim the fan at the part of your face that needs the most cooling.

There are other little fans out there, but they all require batteries.  Why waste the energy when you can have one of these neat little Solar Hat Fans that powers itself?  It will keep you cool outdoors (or even indoors, if you suddenly find your air conditioning is broken) and it’s completely green.

This little canister-like storage device is a great way of keeping your herbs fresh and green for several weeks or more.  All you do is put the herbs into the clear, plastic storage section.  Then you fill up the base with a little bit of water and snap the storage section on to it.  The stems of the herbs sit down in the water, which helps to keep them fresh.  The base features a small port that lets you easily refill the water without removing the storage section.  A stainless steel basket sits down inside the base and is removable for easy cleaning.

The Herb Saver is designed to fit in any standard refrigerator door, and it works for many different types of herbs.  You can use it to store parsley, rosemary, thyme, and cilantro, just to name a few.  If you love fresh herbs but are tired of wasting some of them, this is the perfect solution for you.  Keep your herbs fresh, keep your food tasting great, and keep from wasting money on herbs that you end up throwing away.

This fountain constantly cycles the water around by using a small, low-voltage filter and water pump.  This way, the birdbath stays clean, and the stagnant water won’t ever really start to smell like it sometimes does.  You do have to refill it from time to time, however, and this type of birdbath really needs to have distilled water used in it so that there’s no scale build-up

What powers the pump?  The Copper Solar Birdbath Fountain uses a number of high powered solar panels to keep the water flowing.  All you need to do is put the fountain in an area where it will get lots of sunlight.  No other energy or power source is required.  The birdbath itself is also made out of 50% recycled copper, adding another layer of environmentalism to this great product.  And for those who are afraid of messing something up, there’s absolutely no tools needed in assembling this fountain—it’s very easy to get it out of the box, set it up, and be enjoying the birds in no time.  Because of this, the Copper Solar Birdbath Fountain is a great gift for anyone with an amazing garden or anyone who loves watching the birds.

But now you can go even greener with this fully recyclable USB flash drive.  It’s a 2 GB 2.0 flash drive that is made out of 100% recycled polylactic acid plastic.  It also features a special type of shield around the actual memory that keeps this little drive water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof.  This means you can put it through just about any type of abuse you can think of and it will come out working just fine.  It also features a password protection system that will keep all of your files secure.  In addition to being better for the environment than wasting CDs, every purchase of a recycled USB flash drive results in a donation made to help replant forests.

These great recyclable USB flash drives will make a good gift for the holidays, birthdays, or for those who are starting a new office job.  In addition to buying a gift that you know will be usable, you’ll also be contributing to a reforestation project and helping eliminate the waste of CDs.  What more could you want?

ActiveSoy Track Pants are one of these interesting, all natural pieces of clothing.  They are lightweight and breathe very well.  Many people find the idea of soy pants to be very odd, but the fluid leftover from creating tofu, soymilk, and soybean oils can be spun into various yarns.  These yarns can then be blended with cotton to create strong yet comfortable fibers.  None of the fibers used in these pants contain any petrochemicals.  Soy activewear is soft, strong, and comfortable, and you’re sure to find these track pants feel good and give you the flexibility to participate in a number of activities.

One nice feature of the ActiveSoy Track Pants is that they feature zippered leg insets.  These insets, when unzipped, allow you to pull them on over any workout shoes.  You can then wear them over your shorts or tights.  This makes it easy for you to quickly get changed for exercising.  The ActiveSoy Track Pants come in gray with black inset or black with an ecru inset.

The Digital Zen Alarm Clock features Tibetan bell chimes as its alarm sound, and these gentle chimes are loud enough to wake you up.  However, they don’t do so in a jarring, sudden way like many alarms do.  Instead, the chimes steadily get louder over a ten minute period.  This way, you don’t wake up shocked.  You can also set the clock to do a countdown so you can time your workouts and other activities.

The clock has a number of different options and features.  You can adjust the chime volume as you’d like.  You can also set it to chime at a regular interval, and it features a lighted display so you can see the clock even in the dark.  It also has an option to chime every hour.  The entire clock mechanism is set is a gorgeous solid hardwood case that looks great in any room.  It’s completely portable, too, and can run off of either an AC adapter or two AA batteries.

The Vortex Digital Heater will heat up to 80 feet by circulating warm air.  Unlike some other space heaters, it features a quiet yet powerful fan to make certain the entire room gets warm, not just the area directly in front of it.  Once you set the temperature, the automatic climate control makes automatic adjustments so that it never gets too warm or too cold.  The touch panel LED on top of the Vortex lets you easily see what you’ve set the temperature at, and you can use the handy remote to change it as necessary.  It has two different speeds, 800 watts and 1500 watts, and you can also set it to act as a fan so you can get some use out of the Vortex during the warmer months, too.  It even features programmable options so that you can have it come on a few minutes before your alarm goes off in the morning.

The Vortex is safe to use as well—it features over-heat protection and will automatically shut off if it’s tipped over.  It’s also cool to the touch, so you don’t have to worry about children burning themselves.
