Who says it’s not easy being green? With these five fun gadgets, being green has never been quite so red hot! Why not stop paying for batteries? How about going green while losing weight? Maybe you want to drive a Goblin car? Going green has plenty of upsides! First up, we’ve got the Solar Cell Strap. This one might be handy to have around for those times out hiking or bike riding when you can’t exactly plug in your charger in the nearest tree to charge up. The solar cell strap from Strap Ya runs (obviously enough) on solar power.

The trouble with trying to save energy is that we don’t really know how much we actually use. I mean, I get an energy bill every month, but what good is that information in real-time?

I suppose this is why devices like the EnergyHub were created. This UMPC looking device puts the energy consuming information in the hands of the user.

The EnergyHub has a touchscreen that acts as a “dashboard” which allows the user to set monthly consumption targets, and some great info about their current energy consumption. This information is also available by the user over the Internet.

I think we are trying to save a little gasoline now that gas has gone up to over four dollars a gallon. A little device called the PLX Kiwi is based on the principle that we can save gas (and money) by changing our driving habits.

On the surface, the PLX Kiwi looks like a GPS, but it doesn’t give directions. Instead, it is designed to monitor your fuel consumption. From this information, it tallies up a score for you that shows how to become a better more fuel-efficient driver.
