If you, like me, are the type of person who wants to make a few changes to make your life a little more "green", but won't give up your beloved smartphone until it's prised from your cold dead hands, here are a couple of ideas that won't destroy your savings or the environment.
First up is the Wind Up Mobile Phone Charger / Torch, which looks like it could be ideal for festivals, camping trips and long journeys. Small and lightweight, it harnesses your own energy to keep your mobile phone charged up and ready. I always find myself scrabbling around in the dark in tents for my phone/ water/ deodorant, but luckily the Wind Up Charger also has a bright LED torch.
If you're a bit too lazy to crank a handle round and round and round yourself, you can let the sun do all the work instead with the iPhone Solar Power Charging Case, a sleeve that is fitted snugly around your iPhone and then keeps your battery life topped up throughout the day. It will charge in any well-lit area rather than only in direct sunlight, so it should give a battery boost even at drizzlier times of year.
