Samsung Blue Earth Mobile Phone

Samsung unveiled the innovative solar-powered full touchscreen Blue Earth mobile phone at Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona, Spain.

Designed to symbolize a flat and well rounded shiny pebble, Blue Earth is the first solar-powered full touchscreen phone.

By charging with the solar panel located on the back of the phone, users can generate enough electronic power to call anytime anywhere.

Blue Earth is made from recycled plastic called PCM, which is extracted from water bottles, helping to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the manufacturing process.

The device, including charger, is free from harmful substances such as brominated flame retardants, beryllium and phthalate.

Under the slogan “The Blue Earth Dream: Eco-living with Samsung mobile” Samsung reinforced its commitment to protect the environment through the design of eco-friendly products and a programme of activities for its customers.

Sun Jar Solar Light

The Sun Jar Solar Light is an ingenious portable solar-powered light.

It looks like a storage jar, but it has a solar cell, batteries and LED light under the lid. It stores sunlight in the daytime and when it gets dark the Sun Jar automatically turns itself on and glows with the day’s sunshine.

Available in orange or blue light, the Sun Jar will give out light for about five hours on one charge, and will work indoors or out.

Perfect for a windowsill, outdoors party or night time barbeque. Makes a great gift!
