\n<\/a>\"\"\n<\/td>\n		\nIt’s Earth Day<\/strong>. And multiple stores like Amazon.ca<\/a>\"\" and Amazon.com<\/a>\"\" have set up shops dedicated to Nature<\/strong> themed and Eco-friendly<\/strong> products.<\/p>\n

Being partial to green technology<\/strong>, I love browsing these shops to see the latest gadgets, to see how far consumer products have progressed.<\/p>\n

Many LED light bulbs<\/a>\"\" are more efficient than Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs<\/a> and contain no mercury. But their prices remain high. And the newer, cheaper solar cells<\/strong> have yet to be introduced to consumers, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

There is some progress in regards to Li-ion<\/strong> batteries though ; I purchased an energy efficient media player<\/a> last year that offers 50 hours of music playback on a 3 hour charge<\/strong>. And I’m hoping the newer, cheaper solar cells will be added to these products shortly.<\/p>\n

Another major seller on Earth Day<\/strong> are documentaries. <\/p>\n

Though I love nature documentaries<\/strong> like “March Of The Penguins<\/a>\"\"“, I tend to purchase or rent issue based documentaries like “Blue Gold World Water Wars<\/a>\"\"“, “Food Inc.<\/a>\"\"“, and “Revenge of the Electric Car<\/a>\"\"“. But I dislike documentaries that are dismal and offer no solutions.<\/p>\n

I prefer in-depth and productive films, that offer theoretical and hopefully viable solutions to today’s environmental issues. And when I do watch the National Geographic<\/a> specials or Oasis TV<\/strong>, I generally prefer those that feature oceanic scenery<\/strong> like the Great Barrier Reef<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’ve also recently encountered film company Amos TV<\/strong>, which produces scenic videos that stream to hotels, Google TV<\/strong> compatible devices and select Samsung<\/strong> televisions & Blu-ray<\/strong> players. <\/p>\n

Their high definition<\/strong> films are incredible and feature equally incredible instrumentals. And these films are of course available via their official site (AMOS TV – A New Experience in Ambient Media.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

By the way Alliance Films<\/strong> have released special versions of “Food Inc.<\/a>\"\"” and “March Of The Penguins<\/a>\"\"” this month, both of which include plantable seeded inserts<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Some proceeds from the sale of these films will be given to Earth Day Canada<\/a> for their year round programs.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
