looking for a gift to brighten someone's day?

Solio3

Now here's a bright idea! Recently, I attended the San Francisco Green Festival and picked up a Solio charger, made by Better Energy Systems.  This ingenious pocket-sized device unfolds three leaves (or blades as they call them) to expose solar panels. These in turn charge an internal battery that can later charge your phone, ipod or even digital camera. You can also charge directly from the sun or even charge up the internal battery from a wall outlet. It's the perfect mobile charger to keep your wired world juiced up. With increasing popularity of mp3 players and gadgety phones the Solio makes the perfect green gift for almost anyone. My ipod has been "off the grid" now for a month.

As an added bonus, Better Energy Systems is a green business that offsets the CO2 produced to manufacture Solio and is actively involved in reforestation programs.

Please bring more refills and product into Canada or at least ship to us. Especially the room air freshner, we need refills, please....

Why are so many green items so expensive? I'd love to get the Solio, but at $80-150 a shot, there's no way I could swing it. How good is a green product if only rich people can afford to use it?
