Causing a buzz

Green technology is all the rage nowadays, and it seems the channel is not the only industry propagating the environmental agenda.

Irish firm Camden Enterprises has been promoting its new product the Earth Angel. Targeted at green-conscious consumers, it is powered up by using a wind-up handle to recharge its inbuilt batteries.

Originally developed for use in third world countries, where batteries and power supplies can be scarce or unreliable, the product has garnered interest in Western Europe.

Without getting graphic, it fulfils rather a different environmental need to virtualisation software or unified communications. Suffice to say, it may prove more popular with women.

Her Indoors is always on about reducing our carbon footprint, so I reckon I may invest in one for her. That should save me a lot of wasted energy, at least.
