Envirogadget makes going green groovy!

Looking to make your home and life a little more eco-friendly?  Being tech saavy and earth-conscious no longer has to be an oxymoron in practice.  No sir.  Let Envirogadget help you green up the world with a little bit of fun and flare.

From water-powered clocks to bug zappers that get their power from the sun, Envirogadget has green gadgets for every tech toy lover!  Seeking to stem the tide of throw-away consumerism, blogger Dan Harrison has created a site that showcases the latest in eco-friendly technology.  Not only are the products he features fascinating and fun, they are also practical and affordable.

Appropriately enough, the site itself is clean, friendly, and easy to use.  The main page features the gadget of the day.  Links on the top provide access to the Envirogadget archives and gadget galleries.  In the interest of full disclosure, Harrison does let readers know that he is compensated to review products.  However, he is also very clear that the compensation does not affect the review or his honest opinions on the site.

With so many environmental mishaps making the headlines these days, we can all do a little more to help heal our wear planet.  Luckily, even those of us who are gadget-obsessed can do our part as well.  Thanks to Envirogadget, our love of technology just got a bit greener!

Gazelle.com: Go Green and Get Paid!

We all have them … old gadgets that were great at the time, but which we have since replaced with something newer and/or different.  The problem is what we do with these old tech toys when we no longer want them.  Please do not throw those old tech toys away!  Why put them in landfills where they will only pollute and maybe even poison the planet, when you can get paid for giving them up?  Gazelle can help you be a greener tech-addict and put a little of the other green in your pocket at the same time.  Simply list your old cellphones, MP3 players, cameras, etc. on their site and let Gazelle do the rest.  They guarantee that every unwanted gadget gets an offer.  If you take that offer, Gazelle will even send you a free box in which to ship it … AND … ready for this? … PAY THE SHIPPING!  Now HOW COOL is that?

We gave Gazelle a try with a well-used, but outmoded netbook we were looking to be rid of.  We had not had much luck with eBay or Craigslist, so we had nothing to lose.  We were actually pleasantly surprised with what Gazelle offered us.  We filled out the online form with all the details of our item and had a really great offer in no time.  Within days, we received our shipping materials and sent the netbook off.  We received a notice when the netbook made it to Gazelle and were able to track the whole evaluation process online.  It did not take long for us to get the money for our computer.  The whole transaction was easy and we could not have been happier!

With Gazelle, you can be earth-friendly and be a friend to your bank account at the same time!
