Whether you're looking for practical ways to add some solar (or other renewable energy sources) to your home or are seeking potential Christmas gifts, the Real Goods can hook you up with some great options. Self-described as the place to go for "solar living since 1978," Real Goods' range of solar options include water, heating and pumping products, green modes of transportation, all sorts of home and outdoor living gadgets.
Pinky's Wish List
Solar Island Fountain - The sound of gurgling water is so soothing and now you can enjoy your own fountain without the need to plug it in or use batteries. Direct sunlight causes the water to shoot as high as 17 inches.
Bicycle Headlight - Keep the green commuter safe with the Luxeon LED light that will provide over 30 hours of energy-efficient beams.
Mission-Style Solar Lights - Made from rust-proof antiqued metal and strong buble glass, this LED technology will light your way home. Bonus: it can also be removed from its hook and used as a table lantern.
Global Warming Action Kits - Energy-efficient lightbulbs? Check. Rechargeable batteries and a charger? Check. Solar Living Source Book? Check! You can purchase this kit in a small or large size. The small claims to eliminate 5,000 pounds of C02 per year, while the learge boasts the ability to eliminate 10,000 pounds.
Klutz Solar Car Book - Get your kids on on the solar action and teach them how the energy source works with this do-it-yourself solar car kit that actually contains the parts and instructions to build a working model. No glue, nails, tape or batteries required!
