Gadgets, gizmos, and tools to help make you more productive in business

It seems everyone wants to do their bit these days to help stop global warming, while also staying trendy and fashionable.

Now the latest craze is solar power, everywhere you look there are solar paneled phone chargers, lights, cars and so on. However the latest addition comes from designer Buro North and goes in a completely different direction, offering Veil Solar Shades. Even the Victorian Government of Australia can see these snazzy light weight shades are so intuitive and the way of the future, that they provided some funding for this project.

Housing a LED light pattern underneath, the unique and safe design was specifically aimed at schools, to maximize the amount of solar energy they take in.

I believe they will go so much further than just schools and though no one knows when they'll be available I don't think it will take long until they'll replace the old tin shading on beaches, in backyards and anywhere the imagination can think to put them.
