Get rid of Winter blues

The goLite Blu
from Phillips gets rid of winter blues

Gloomy winter days can get to even the most cheerful of people eventually, so companies have started making light therapy clocks. It triggers your release of “active” hormones and keeps you feeling more cheerful. Oddly the light can even help you sleep better at night. Since it gives you so much more energy during the day, it makes it so that at night you’re a lot more restful. Which just about anyone could do with a better nights sleep. Apparently the key is with the blue light itself, due to our bodies reactions to a bright blue summer sky.

All you have to do is flip on the light for 15 minutes a day. Which would be easy to fit into a morning routine. Whether it be while eating breakfast, or for the ladies while putting on makeup and fixing their hair. The light comes with a two year warranty, but unfortunately it is a bit expensive. To pick up the light it will cost you $279. However, if you tend to get really down every winter it might end up being worth it to spend the money.

ECO Showerdrop

Cool Green Gadget: Save Water with the ECO Showerdrop
If you’re all about doing your part to save the planet, then you’ll love this gadget.

The ECO Showerdrop is a little device that will beep, time you and measure how much water you use during every shower. So when the next water bill comes around and it’s time to divide the water bill up between and your roommates, now you have a nice little measuring device.

“Johnny, you used 12 more gallons than me this month, that will be $20.”

Of course, if you still want to take your hour long showers, just turn the ECO Showerdrop off and resume cleaning. There’s always some way to beat this system. In this case, just remove the batteries.

Something everyone should have.....

Cool Green Car:
The Cool and Eco-Friendly BamGoo Car

If this thing ever makes it into production, we’ll have a lot of mad koala’s on our hands.

The researchers over at Kyoto University have come up with this new little car, made almost entirely out of bamboo. The “BamGoo” car as it is rightfully called, weighs about 130 pounds and can travel up to 30 miles on a single charge.

I’m sure that this car is intended for non-smokers, seeing how if they dropped a cigarrette on the floor, the BamGoo car would turn into a giant fireball on wheels.
