Bring on the solar. Too bad they don't have a solar-powered Sirius radio or CD player, but another good start. Great for backyards, hiking, camping or just inquisitive kids (or adults :) Three ways to charge: sun, hank-crank, plug-in. 30 seconds of cranking = 35 minutes of Dave Matthews. The rechargable NiMH battery can hold 20 hours of playtime. AM/FM/SW/LW

Bee wax crayons - Organic Baby & Kids

First to recommend

Description

Another great alternative to petroleum crayons. They aren't inexpensive, but they are completely non-toxic and they claim they take on a watercolor appearance. This may be more for the artsy, than for the toddler. (via Ideal Bite)

How Clean Is The Electricity I Use? - Power Profiler

First to recommend

Description

So cool. Plug in your zipcode and this EPA website will inform you on where your area obtains its energy.
For example, mine reads that we get 73% of our energy from coal (I can't help where I am. Ohio is a big coal state! How terrble). What's worse is that it compares your coal consumption to the nation's (50%). Yikes! We use 23% more coal than the national average! Ok, anyway, Gas (2%), Nuclear (23%), Hydro (1%), non-hydro renewables (0!).

To boot, we exceed the national averages for carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.

Please visit this site. We need to be informed on our state of energy, especially with all the talk in election and media. Do yourself a favor and become informed! (via Ideal Bite)

Green Power Network: Buying Green Power: Can I Buy Green Power in My State?

First to recommend

Description

This is yet another tool to every person that wants to arm themselves with the power of knowledge. A U.S. Dept of Energy website allows you to see what kind of green power is available through different companys.

Again, for me, I found out my I can donate $1.40 per month to the power company for them to invest in renewable energy. However; I also found out that that program will expire in December. (via Ideal Bite)

Rain Barrels, Downspout Diverters and Filters, Rain Barrel Kits

First to recommend

Description

I think having any kind of rain barrel is a benefit, but for those that 'em usually want to push it further and further (especially those with a large garden). A 55 gallon barrel doesn't hold that much water (some say will fill in less than 5 minutes). For a much more elaborate plan, check out these guys. They have everything you need (for a price, of course). 30, 55, 75, 80, and (*gasp) 214-gallon rain barrels.
