My Favorite Green Product for 2009
Today is Blog Action Day
Hands down the best green product for me is the Kindle by Amazon. Sure Sony was the first company to come up with the e-ink, but because the books you could read on it was restricted to Japanese ones, it was near impossible for everyone else in the world to appreciate the marvel of the e-book.
And now that it’s come down in price to US$259 it’s finally in reach for a lot more people.
