What better way to charge you gadgets than whilst you’re on the move enjoying everything the countryside has to offer!

This neat little backpack absorbs the sun’s energy thanks to the monocyrstalline solar panel on the front. The power is transferred into an electrical charge which is stored in a power pack, hidden inside. You simply attach your hand-held appliance (mobile, digital camera, or MP3 player) to the charger using one of the adaptors that are included (Nokia, Motorola, Ericsson, Siemens mobile phones, plus a mini USb connector) and voila: full power whilst you’re on the move!

The Solar Backpack is also extremely comfortable to carry, with ultra soft padded back and a number of buckles that can be fastened to make it easier to on your shoulders. Better still, the Solar Backpack has a number of compartments for your belongings including a divider which you can use to secure a laptop.

You will also find a compartment with a sealed pouch for loose change and a concealed zipped pouch to store an iPod allowing for headphone access. Flipping it over reveals another small pocket containing a rain cover meaning it will keep everything bone dry during the British summer!

This eco-friendly bag is a bit different to what you will find in the high street stores. Colourful and fun it is, environmentally damaging its not!

All these bags are eco-friendly having been made from recycled juice packs by a women’s cooperative in the Phillipines. The juice pack bags are a complete range of bags, purses and accessories made from recycled juice packs, the non-biodegradable foil and plastic packaging that would otherwise go into landfill sites and incinerators. They come in a range of styles and colours, and make a great eco friendly gift.

The big question is… are you willing to be seen out and about with a recycled handbag, or will you wait until a celebrity is seen with one clutched to their arm!
