Like One Laptop per Child, the BOGO solar powered flashlight lets you score yourself a neat green gadget while providing a second one for free distribution by non-profits in the developing world. Find out how it works and what it costs in our video review

These flashlights can definitely help. Hope they've fixed the bugs. I bought a solar flashlight(probably not the same company) a few yrs ago and it wouldn't hold power very well. It only worked for maybe 5mn once the sun went down & the light was not very strong.

"One Laptop per Child"is a GREEN idea?!?! Excuse me, my brain can't process that...What do we do with the billions broken or non-upgradeable ones after
a couple of yrs, even less?
