Wannabe celeb Dan Power has released the world’s first ever ‘anti-eco’ single ‘Energy Wasting Day’

Dan Power attempts to knock Lady Gaga and Oasis out of the Top 10 and become the UK’s number one in time for April 1 2009.

In his debut music video, Dan Power (a self-confessed carbon junkie and Jeremy Clarkson fan) is seen cavorting with a group of girls pole dancing around patio heaters, riding a gas guzzling motorbike and advocating all kinds of ways to needlessly waste energy.

Check out www.energywastingday.com to download the track, buy collectible T-shirts, and become friends via his Facebook, MySpace and Twitter pages.

The Sunjar was invented by designer Tobias Wong, and designed to use energy saving low voltage LED’s powered by a super-efficient solar panel inside the frosted jar. Recharge the Sunjar during the day to enjoy a warming relaxing orange glow during the evening and night.

The Sunjar is watertight and has no trailing cables which makes it suitable using inside or outside. This would also be amazing to use when camping, especially in a tipi.

£17.95 from Ethical Superstore

Wind him up and rise to the challenge. Try to move the wand along his antenna from one end to the other without touching the sides. Touch the sides and Mr Robot Head with will flash his eyes and buzz his disapproval.

This is how we can give children the toys that they desire without adding to the landfill problem. Mr Robot Head will entertain and engage any young child as well as develop hand eye co-ordination and fine motor control.

For Inspector Gadget

The Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player is one of my favourite gadgets ever and Stephen Fry loves his too.  It’s a wind-up (and rechargeable) music and video player for watching movies or music videos, listening to mp3 music files or tuning in to the radio, any time, anywhere. It has 2Gb storage (about 500 songs), and you can add to this with plug-in SD cards.

The eco wind-up system means that you”ll never run out of power or waste environmentally harmful batteries – one minute of winding gives up to 40 minutes of play time.

£99.99 from Nigel’s EcoStore. There’s a new one out too, called the Revolution, from Ethical Superstore for £129.99.

You don’t have to tell me twice that going to a festival is good for me. I had the best time last year at The Green Man in the Brecon Beacons, Robert Plant was awesome and despite the mud (my children thought it looked like chocolate icing) and the rain, we had a brilliant time. Going to a festival will put a buzz into your summer, and the best news is that now, thanks to Gigantic.com it may improve somebody else’s summer too. 10% of the Gigantic.com booking fee goes to Oxfam, to help overcome poverty and suffering around the world. And if you’re not sure which festival to pick, I recommend checking out Gogol Bordello at Get Loaded in the Park at Clapham Common. Check out Gigantic.com for all the listings.

“I’m aware of what’s going on right now in humanity, so I write about what’s topical. I look ahead to where mankind is going, drawing from what I know about history and what I’ve learned from the Bible. You can’t deny that the world is in a state of very rapid decline. There are holes in the sky, and the plants, trees, fish, and animals are dying. Even the dirt is dying. The clock is ticking, and we have to do something. Humanity is being sucked into the vortex of death. But I know things will be righted sooner or later. Everybody has good intentions, but it’s actions that count. It starts with yourself first. If you want to do something good for humanity, do it by setting an example.” (Mustaine, 1993)
