Emergency Energy at Your Fingertips
Not only is solar power efficient, but it is also a good backup power source. For example, if your car stalls and your phone is out of battery, a PowerPocket in your glove compartment will solve this problem easily. If you have an older car that canit be left in the heat for long periods of time, you can use one to plug into your dash to keep the electrical system right and ready. With free energy, the possibilities are endless. You can use PowerPockets for camping, hiking and biking. Instead of searching for electrical adapters that fit foreign sockets, a Juice Bag or PowerPocket will come in handy as an environmentally safe and free way to charge phones, cameras, and any other device.

Reware also offers SolarReady Batteries that store sunlight from Juice Bags or PowerPockets so that the energy can be used at night as well as during the day. This is extremely useful for emergency power for flashlights, walkie talkies and other battery operated devices that can be useful in a power outage.

Save Energy: Recycle and Reuse
Another environmentally friendly product that Reware recently released is a new line of messenger bags, hobo bags and attachEs that are made from recycled two-liter soda bottles. The bottles are repurposed and rewoven into a cloth that is both durable and water resistant. Although they do not store energy like the Juice Bags, they are made of 100% guaranteed post-consumer waste and made in the US.

The truth is that the world only has a finite amount of resources. Therefore, the more we recycle and the more we do to help the environment, the healthier our planet and country will be. Imagine if we could eradicate Americais dependency on foreign oil by just recycling and using solar power. The need for going green is growing as population increases and resources are stretched thin.

Using solar energy and recycled goods is a great way to protect our environment as well as keeping a lifestyle full of energy and electronics. By purchasing solar powered and recycled products allow consumers to harness free and renewable energy anywhere in the world as well as keep the earth clean and safe for generations to come.
