Green Gadgets That Save You Money (2 videos)

Read by the Light of the Sun—at Night

This is a neat little desk lamp that sells for $20 at Ikea. Put it by the window during the day, the sun will charge it up, then read at night.

Even better, each time you buy one, Ikea will contribute a hardier version to UNICEF for a needy child in a poor country. So far this year Ikea contributed more than half a million lamps; next year it hopes to reach one million.

Love these segments but I sure wish they would not rush the presenters and spend a few extra minutes so we can get all the information we need. (They should take a minute or two away from some of those segments on the celebrity gossip or crap like that!)

Seniors are just making up for lost time. I will too one day when I get their age.

never spent $190 for a pair of shoes, let alone a pair of sandals.

The other thing that you can do is buy a reusable pad or a diva cup. If you go to: http://lunapads.c…

Never buy from a pet store, all you are doing is supporting puppy mills. Do not buy, ADOPT and save…

Sitting 69 is the perfect
