There’s been a huge surge in the last few years toward living “green”, being environmentally-friendly, and lessening our impact on the Earth. Purists may demand the key to this is by doing a cultural 180. Stop buying unnecessary things, use the things we do need until they are entirely worn and when we can no longer use them for what they were intended, find a way to turn them into something else. Rehome, Recycle, Reuse.

Unfortunately, that idea and technology don’t always go hand in hand. Our tools are constantly changing. Improving. Now we’re finding ways to improve on today’s gadgets for a cleaner, greener tomorrow. At Eco-Friendly Driver, this is on topic every single day, but this month it’s at the center of our Tech Channel theme. Green gadgets are popping up all over:

Lia at Gadgenista, found the most adorable phone charms I’ve seen to date. What an ingenuitive way to show our support!
