Eight Great Green Gadgets for Holiday Giving

Electronics and other gadgets are top items for gift giving, and the blog CleanTechnica has a page on the best "green gadgets" to put in someone's stocking (or a box). CleanTechnica, a part of the organization Green Options, shows items including a solar-paneled backpack, a power strip/surge suppressor that supposedly tells you how efficient your electrical devices are, a wind-powered cell phone charger, a water-powered clock, and more.

There are other ways to "green" your shopping for the holiday season (or any season); Apple claims its new MacBook and MacBook Pro computers are some of the most environment-friendly ever made, from an aluminum case to fewer toxic ingredients.
