There are no two ways about it, if we are going to save this planet for our children and grandchildren, we have to do it one little bit at a time. Every soda can that you recycle counts. Every newspaper. If you replace one standard light bulb with a fluorescent bulb you are helping the cause.
Electricity-wise, it is all of those new little gadgets that are hurting the cause. Nobody stops to think about the energy used in recharging a simple little MP3 player. It is a tiny little gadget – how much could recharging it be hurting the planet. Well, it is not just one simple little MP3 player. There are millions of those little gadgets floating around out there, and each one of them is sucking up a little bit of our energy.
Say hello to the Eco Media Player EMP-MX71, a nifty little invention created by Trevor Baylis. Mr. Baylis – who also invented the wind-up radio – has outfitted this new ecologically sound MP3 player with a lithium battery that can either be recharged by USB cable or by good old-fashioned human generated power. Yup, you can wind that sucker up. This MP3 player can hold up to 20 hours of charge, and one minute of winding can get you 40 minutes of power. Wow. And if all of this is not enough to convince you to help save the earth by purchasing this little gadget, it has all of the typical features of the modern MP3 player – including a 1.8″ color LCD screen that allows for video playback, a 2 GB internal memory, and an SD card socket for further expansion if desired. The Eco Media Player EMP-MX71 also has a few extra features that are not included in a typical player. Because it has the wind-up charging feature, the Eco Media Player EMP-MX71 can also act as a quick charger for a mobile phone. The player includes a cable that can be used to plug your phone into the device, and winding will send a charge to the phone’s battery. It also has a powerful LED torch that is mounted on top of the unit.
If helping to save the planet’s resources is not enough of an incentive for you to seriously consider purchasing the EMP-MX71, consider the convenience of owning this device. No more forgetting to charge the player or forgetting the power cord so that you can recharge it – and this device would have the save convenience for your cell phone. And if you are a hiker or a camper – or even live in an area where weather is bad enough to risk getting stuck somewhere, you would not have to worry about losing the charge in your phone at the worst possible time.
And you’ll always have a little music wherever you go. You just can’t beat that.
