1. Vers 2X iPod Dock with Speaker.

It’s wood veneer comes from sustainable plantation lumber. I doesn’t contain hazardous materials such as lead, cadmium and chemical-based adhesives. Packaging is made from recycled materials and is also recyclable. Best iPod speaker dock in the market.

2. Bedol Water-Powered Clock.

Runs on saltwater. Yeah, that’s right, and it can go weeks on a single fill. Big plus factor: it doesn’t look like a water clock science project.

3. Powerfilm Rollable Solar Charger.

This portable solar panel battery charge system can be rolled and stowed inside our bags. The more expensive models can power a laptop for half an hour for every hour of exposure to sunlight. Can be used as a battery charger for all our gadgets at home as well during clear days.

4. Husqvarna Automower Solar Hybrid.

The Husqvarna solar robot lawn mower is the RoboCop of lawns. It’s not a full solar-powered lawn mower but only get a boost of energy from the sun while mowing grass through its solar panels. Sorry but it is not available for Christmas, February of 2009 is close enough though.

5. Kill-A-Watt PS.

Being paranoid about our electrical consumption can benefit the environment. The Kill-A-Watt electronic usage monitor will help us keep a close watch on voltage, kilowatt-hours, and leakage current used by connected electronics and appliances.

6. Dell Studio Hybrid.

This green PC has an outer shell made of bamboo. Really cool! That’s only a start. It also requires less energy to run than most desktops, arrives in a recyclable package, comes with the recycling kit, and uses 75% less documentation (less paper). It’s sleek, vibrant look that shouts eco-chic is a bonus.

7. Fabrik [re]Drive.

The casing’s side panels are made of, yes, bamboo. Aside from that, it’s claim to green fame includes 90% less electicity than conventional hard-drives and enclosure is recycled aluminum.

8. Philips Eco TV.

Lead-free and flame-retardant construction. Packaging and manuals made from recycled materials. The kicker? The TV adjusts power consumption as the need arise, the darker the room, the less energy used. A dimmable backlight and power saver mode can drive its power consumption down to 75 watts.

9. Voltaic Generator Laptop Bag.

The fabric of this solar power charging bag is made entirely from recycled soda bottles. A day’s worth of sunlight can fully charge a 17 watt battery pack.

10. Nokia 3110 Evolve.

An eco-friendly phone? Nokia seems to have succeded in making one. The outer shell is made from unpainted bio-sourced materials that are 50 percent renewable. The AC charger beats Energy Star power usage standards by 95 percent and draws almost no electricity when the phone isn’t actually charging. Nokia made it perfectly usable as well with a web browser, e-mail client, camera, MP3 player and FM radio.
