Looking through my RSS tab on my iGoogle page, I found an interesting post. Just recently my class was working on things with Global Warming and simple things we can do to stop it. The blog that I found had a post about a radio that is ecofriendly and made of biodegradable materials.
This radio is called the Blister Radio. It was made by a man with the name of Klaus Rosburg. It is solar-powered which is good too. On the post I read, it did not have much information about this product. I thought that was a problem, as I could not learn more about the product. What the blog said about the product was good, but there was a downside to the product.
On a blog called Ecofriend they said : ” Gadgets solely dependent on solar energy don’t have much of a practical value, unless their batteries are just like a watch that remains powered for long on a single charge.” I do agree with Ecofriend because that is true. Products that are dependant on solar power work with less value then one that runs on a battery.
Although the product is eco-friendly, I wouldn’t want to buy it because on a cloudy day you aren’t going to get much sun as you would on a sunny day. The battery would take longer to charge and the value of the radio would not be as good as it should be. I think that there should be a place for batteries to go if you want to use them.
