Over 50 million water bottles were thrown away every day just last year, which is not only a lot of waste but also a huge burden on the environment.  Reusable water bottles can help save the environment and reduce the amount of waste. Due to growing concern over the safety, environmental impact, and cost of disposable plastic water bottles, more people are choosing to re-fill multi-use water bottles.

I remember one instance that I’ll never forget. We were working on a project in a remote area and my co-worker had this brand new smartphone that he adored so much and bragged about it all the time. He was using its apps for almost everything that we needed in the field; from compass, inclinometer to calculator. One morning he tripped and dropped it on a pile of rock and broke its screen that rendered it completely useless. Today when I read about this Urban Armor Gear Case, I thought he would have loved to protect his prized possession by investing another $39.

Nothing spoils your bike ride more than a flat tire in middle of nowhere, but fret no more. Here is probably one of the world’s smallest air pump that can easily fit into your shirt pocket. Weighing only two ounces it will fit most standard bicycle valves. It can also be used to inflate balls. For convenience of transportation a mounting rack is also provided.

Here comes the ultimate eco-friendly ride of the 21st century. It can either be pedaled like a normal bike or on electric charge. The electric charge comes from a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be charged while you are riding and pedaling your way to work or be charged via an AC adapter at home in five and a half hours.

Here is a must-have, 9-in-1 Emergency Flashlight that will come handy in all emergency situations; be it at home, on the road, or outdoors in the back country. It has a rugged construction and is not only rechargeable but comes with a Hand-crank generator as a back-up power source.

Having company is great and all but sometimes you just want to be alone. And getting that alone time is not always that easy. There are lots of people at the park, you will pass people on a casual stroll, and you will pass by people on a trail or perhaps an angry bear. Now, going out on the water can definitely be a place of peace and serenity. If you’re that person who enjoys being alone, reading a book, and keeping to yourself then the One-Person Electric Watercraft is the boat designed just for you.

There is no better feeling than taking a nice, long hot shower. I personally go through phases where I either try my best to save water and keep the showers short or the phase where I really enjoy the long hot showers. I know it’s bad and I know that there are people around the world who would love to have a sip of water just to survive. I should know better as I grew up in villages where there were water shortages. People here in the west really do take things for granted.
