A selection of useful eco-friendly office gadgets

When it comes to boys and their toys, it doesn’t matter how useless a gadget is. Novelty is the real essence of a gadget. However, it’s refreshing to find gadgets that are not only useful, but also have an eco-friendly element to them. So, on this theme, I present a water powered calculator, a staple-less stapler, and a solar laptop charger.

The water powered calculator is a clever little device that actually uses water to power it. Using a smart battery exploiting 2 metal alloys, the water generates an electricity current just enough to power a calculator. As the water evaporates, you just need to top it up with a little more water, roughly every 2 to 3 months.

According to statistics on Nigel’s Eco Store, if everyone in UK offices saved just one staple a day, we’d save 72 tonnes of metal a year. The staple-less stapler uses a special cut and fold technique to attach up to 3 pages together. 3 pages is not a lot, but it’d be great to see it’s successor staple many more pages.

And finally with the laptop solar charger. Solar laptop chargers are hard to come by as laptops are very energy hungry beasts. Phone and MP3 player chargers are highly common on the other hand. However, this new 10W solar charger is a ideal for charging laptops, as well as many other devices. The charger comes with many different adaptors to allow you to charge the most common electronic devices.

It’s also portable enough to take it with you on business, ideal if you don’t have access to a power socket and the sun is shining! Although if the sun is shining, I suggest putting the laptop away and enjoying the sun. Particularly in the UK, warm sunny days are a rarity!

This picture feels like a lifetime ago! We've know This picture feels like a lifetime ago! We've known each other 30 years, been married for 18 of them. There's been ups and downs, good and bad, thick and thin (he's obviously the thin one 😂). 

We've been through a lot, but I like to think that's what makes us stronger. Besides, I don't have time in my life to start training a new one.  Kidding! 😉🥰

Here's to many more years of looking forward to what awaits us beyond the horizon. 

Happy 18th anniversary Troy. ❤️
