For those of us on the go, we’re always in the market for something lightweight and portable, but useful, right?  These portable speakers can be used for any music source with a headphone jack.  Besides the electronic portion that makes them function, there’s really not much to them, which is nice if you’re traveling or storing them. 

The exterior is made of cardboard!  When you’re not using them, they can be folded up and inserted back into the pouch they came in, making it simple to transport or store them in just about any bag or laptop case.  Best of all, they look very unique and no one else will have speakers like them! 

They are available for purchase from the Museum of Modern Art.  The purchase price is $42.  So the next time you want to listen to your MP3 player but don’t want to wear those pesky headphones, get these speakers out of your purse or bag, fold them into shape, plug them into the headphone jack and enjoy!

How many times have you been out on safari in the middle of the African savannah and had your cell phone or Ipod run out of power?  Well, maybe never, but if you were you would never have to worry about charging your handheld electronic devices again as long as you also had with you your Solio solar charger!  These portable little gadgets will create enough power to charge any cell phone, iPod, Blackberry, navigational device, game console, or digital camera using only the free and plentiful resources of our own sun.

Each Solio charger is light, compact, weatherproof, and an effective way of charging all of your handheld devices anywhere, anytime.  It has the ability to fully charge any of the above devices up to two times on any charge.  You can also plug the charger into any wall outlet when there is no sun available, like at night, if you choose.  They also offer universal USB adapters that will attach to just about any handheld electronic device on the market today.

It’s pretty powerful too!  For instance, let’s say you’re caught out on that safari and a lion attacks your vehicle disabling it (because this happens all the time, right?).  Well, no worries because you can easily charge your cell phone to call for help and then charge your MP3 player to listen to your tunes while you wait for help to arrive by simply using your Solio solar charger.  What could be better, right?  Well, how about saving the planet at the same time?

While the convenience of this device is obvious, it is also a wonderful "green" invention that will make a greater impact on saving the environment than you probably realize.  According to Solio, more than 3 billion electric chargers have been sold in North America alone over the past five years.  These electric chargers create CO2 levels that are equal to 1.2 million polluting cars out on the highway.  However, if instead of purchasing wall chargers people bought solar charges, this would reduce the CO2 emissions by approximately 70 percent!

This all sounds great, right?  Well, check out the company’s website and watch their fascinating video that shows how their chargers are literally saving lives and making life easier for those people who really do live in the wilds of Africa and have to worry about attacking lions.

If you enjoy drinking soda or seltzer then you will definitely want to purchase your very own Soda-Club machine for your home.  Soda-Club can provide you with unlimited soda making capabilities starting out at as little as $99.99. 

When you order your Soda-Club machine you’ll get the soda maker, carbonation tanks, refillable carbonating bottles, and a sampler set of all the same soda flavors that you currently enjoy, plus a few new ones.

When your Soda-Club kit arrives in the mail you simply insert the carbonation tank into the machine, fill a carbonating bottle with regular tap water, screw it onto the machine, press a button a couple of time and you have made a fully carbonated bottle of seltzer water in under one minute! 

Then, if you choose,  you can add your favorite soda flavors, such as cola, ginger ale, lemon lime, root beer, cranberry raspberry, or one of the many other flavor options.  They also have diet flavors made with Splenda!

Each carbonation tank makes approximately 110 liters of carbonated soda and once it’s empty you simply order a full one which will come to you via UPS.  Then you place your empty tank in the pre-paid return package and send it right back.  You’ll never have to lift heavy cases of soda from the grocery store again!

It’s a fantastic product and a wonderful gift for anyone who enjoys drinking seltzer or carbonated drinks.  It’s a green product too because it doesn’t need electricity or batteries to work and it reduces waste because each reusable bottle you buy will last for three years!  So, check out Soda-Club to find out how easy it is to make your very own soda at home.
