Everyone is going green these days and there are all kinds of different reasons people give. Some people are giving up things like styrofoam to help keep it out of the landfills. Some people are watering the plants less and even showering less to save water.
While I care about the environment and want to be more eco-friendly, it's hard for me to get motivated sometimes. That's why my step towards eco-friendly has been buying a portable solar battery charger! I heard about solar powered chargers a while back and I never bought one because I wasn't all that into electronics. Nowadays, I have my iPod Touch and my whole family has cell phones and laptops. As you can imagine, we are always plugged in! I didn't realize it at first but that takes up a lot of energy and it has sent our energy bill through the roof.
With a solar powered charger, you get your energy directly from the sun so that means your not paying anyone for it! I wasn't totally sure how much of a difference it would make but I figured I'd make the investment because whether it saved me money or not, it is good for the environment.
I have now been using my solar powered charger for 3 months and it has saved me loads on my energy bill! Well, okay maybe it's more like $20 a month but that's $240 a year and that's money that can go into your emergency fund (or towards new dress).
I'm actually happy in my investment into a solar powered charger and I would recommend it to those who are always plugged in, like my family and I. It may be able to save you a little bit of extra money that you can use towards something else and it's good for the environment. Because of this, I find it to be a worthy investment!
