In honor of National Cut Your Energy Cost Day, these products aim to reduce costly energy consumption with sustainable solutions. From solar-powered houses to portable eco grills and consumption calculating apps, there are many products, gadgets and systems that will help consumers make energy-efficient decisions.
While energy can be costly, there are numerous alternatives that are continuously being designed to combat these costs. For example, designer Xindong Che created a simplified electricity tracking device called 'Eco-Pop.' The device reads electricity consumption and digitally grows foliage when consumers reduce their usage.
Celebrate National Cut Your Energy Cost Day by making proactive decisions to reduce your carbon footprint, protect the environment and save money. With the help of these products, consumers have more opportunities to actively participate in environmental salvation.
