~~~ Eco Button ~~~ It was this time last year that I first purchased my Eco Button and being quite impressed with this nifty little gadget, I purchased more as little Christmas stocking fillers for my family. Usually such little gifts are just whimsy and nonsense, but the Eco Button is just as practical as it is fun (in a nerdy sort of way). The Eco Button is aimed towards people who regularly utilise a home computer, be it desktop or laptop, as it reduces energy used, and CO2 emissions, and keeps a tally of your savings. ~~~ Price ~~~ Prices fluctuate immensely, so shop around. Today, it can be found around the £8.00 mark, ...  Read the complete review

I like to think of myself as being quite a green and eco friendly person. I recycled from before it became fashionable, we compost, we grow our own, we even save up our plastic recycling till we have a car load and then my hubbie takes it to the recycling point in the town where he works as our council don't touch it, and we are about to have solar panels put on the roof of our house.

Apparently I am one of those people who is difficult to buy for at Christmas. As an inevitable consequence I received quite a few things that I neither needed nor wanted. My initial assessment was that this product was a waste of time and was just a bit of a gimmick. I couldn't see myself using it and resolved to 'ebay' it instead. I checked the ebay listings and found that these go for as little as a fiver - hardly worth the bother, so I thought I would give it a go. It is easy to set up and install on either the PC or laptop and all the user needs to do is to remember to press the ecobutton each time they leave their computer for a little ...  Read the complete review
