Have you ever taken a stack of photos then wondered about how much energy your digital camera takes to power up ?

Even felt slightly guilty ?

Wouldn’t you like to reduce your carbon footprint just a teensy weensy bit and get free solar energy ?

There is now a way to take all the pix you want and stay green – its to do with this “graphene photovoltaics” thingammy, which is basically a fancy pants way of saying you can solar charge your camera battery and still feel cool about your carbon footprint.

Apparently this “graphene whatsit”  is a highly conductive material that will charge up the gadget of your choice and makes it easier for you and I to keep taking photos, keep charging up and keep going !

If you could use free energy and still keep clicking then that’s got to be fantastic for us and for the planet. So if we could get our hands on a solar charger for our cameras it’d be faaaaantastic.    How good would it be ?

It’d be a bit like having your cake and eating it too wouldn’t it ?

Now,I know nothing about all of this but someone who does know is  Sophia Walker who writes for the http://solarcharger.org.uk/“>solar charger</a> blog,  her personal hobby web site centered on tips to help individuals save electricity using solar power for small devices.
