Some brands have already designed these speakers that work with solar energy and tell you how you should position them to optimally take advantage of the sun’s rays.
Kettles are very practical at home for cooking, for preparing a coffee or an infusion, but many times we use energy to heat a large amount of water and we only need a small part of it. This kettle allows us to select the estimated amount of water that we are going to use and thus only heat what is necessary, allowing us to store the rest comfortably inside for future occasions.

A hot shower is a real pleasure, which, however, we can continue to enjoy without wasting unnecessary amounts of water, even reusing it. A model that gives very good results is EcoVa, which has a system at the base that detects if the water is very dirty (in which case it is sent to the drain), or if it can still be reused, so that it filters it, purifies it and reuses it. Large amounts of water can be saved with this model.
On the other hand, the Ecoflow shower, from the Waterpik brand, is also an ecological option with great health benefits, since it contains germanium and tourmaline. It is designed for the relaxation of the buyer, so that it allows eight different positions (soft, stop, standard, normal, turbo, massage, spa, and spray) to make your showers a relaxing experience while taking care of the environment.

With this device, we will realize how simple it is to save a little water for the planet and how easy it is to save on our water and heating bills. If you don’t have it yet, you will easily find it in specialized stores, DIY stores, or on the Internet, for a low price. It will be a lot of fun to write down who spends less in the family and to realize our progress in having a much more responsible behavior in the shower.
Although it is very likely that you already have these light bulbs installed in all or most of your home, it is worth remembering how important it is to bet on low-consumption lighting, leaving aside incandescent and fluorescent lamps that, in addition, give us a quite annoying light for the eyes.
By replacing traditional light bulbs with LED lamps we are saving a very significant amount of carbon emissions and energy into the atmosphere. Fortunately, more and more of us have realized the advantage of installing this model of light bulbs and they are now available in most stores and drugstores, in many models and sizes. As if that were not enough, LED bulbs last much longer, so we will not be forced to replace the bulbs as often.
This brand has created a hair dryer that gives us all the results and features of other models in its range, of reputable fame but using only half the electricity of other dryers. The device is responsible for optimizing the emitted air cycle in such a way that we need less energy to make it work and for said air to come out hot.

While this wonderful machine was built primarily for office use, if we work at home it could be a great idea to add to our office, especially if we use large amounts of paper. It is a compact recycler called PaperLab, from the Japanese brand Epson, which can create new sheets from a used paper without using a single drop of water. The best thing is that it allows us to create the type of sheets, with the color and thickness that we need, according to our will. It’s blazingly fast, it can produce 14 standard sheets per minute and about 6,720 sheets in an eight-hour shift.
Its operation is based on the following: first, the machine breaks the used sheets until they are converted into small strips, then the whitening process begins (during which dyes can be added to the paper if we want it in a different tone) and then it is taken to A pressure process is carried out to return the folio that the user wants. It has been one of the most innovative products at the Eco-Products 2015 fair.
