GREENER gadgets

Core77 has once again partnered with Greener Gadgets to produce a design competition aimed at generating outstanding design innovations for greener electronics. they engaged Designers to develop gadgets that would minimize the environmental impact of consumer electronic devices. They have narrowed it down to a handful and are asking the public to cast their vote for  top 10 that will be judged at the Greener Gadget Conference In NYC on February 27th. The design below is the bug plug, designed by Kamil Jerzykowski (Poland), which saves energy and prevents unnecessary (and often accidental) energy consumption. The device has a built-in motion sensor, turning off all connected devices (through powerstrips) when it detects no motion or body heat. So that 15 minute you took with your dog and left the tv and the lights on, don’t worry the bug plug will take care of that. Cast your vote for your favorite Greener Gadget at Core77.
