Get to know a greenvention each week that may change the way you think about greening your life and your world.
It looks like the future of computing may involve a healthy dose of some of the oldest and most natural materials around: like the fast growing, easily renewable bamboo. We've already seen the emergence of bamboo laptops, so why not throw a couple bamboo external hard drives by Simpletech into the eco-innovation mix?
Not only is the [re]drive made with bamboo and the very-recyclable aluminum, but it's specially designed to be energy efficient, and uses less power than other standard external drives. And just because it's green doesn't mean that it'll sport a tie-dye design or anything—quite the contrary. The slick machine looks as sharp and modern as any Apple product out there. And, as icing on the cake, it comes in fully recyclable, eco-friendly packaging.
You can pick up the [re]drive or any number of SimpleTech's forward-thinking products at ubiquitous retailers like Best Buy, Circuit City, on Amazon, and other green gadget-selling stores.
