In february this year, the company Samsung Electronics unveiled in Korea the first solar powered full-touch screen phone called Blue Earth. By charging with the solar panel located on the back of the phone, users can generate enough electronic power to use the phone for about 4 hours talk time and with the option of the conventional plug-to-a-socket if necessary.

Blue Earth is made from recycled plastic called PCM, which is extracted from water bottles, helping to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the manufacturing process. The device, including charger, is free from harmful substances such as Brominated Flame Retardants, Beryllium and Phthalate (whatever that is). The phone will be available in Europe this year but no real dates are given by Samsung.

Why is this important? In my opinion this is a revolutionary concept that when perfected will set the standards for new devices to come. We need technology and we love to be connected but it doesn’t have to be at the cost of destroying our planet.
