Granola Strolla - S Post

There's a great new product trying to get off the ground...one that will keep that ground green!

Self-described as “kid friendly,” due to the durable product specs, amongst other things, the Granola Strolla is a portable, solar-powered battery pack/charger that utilizes 3D printing technology, combined with earth friendly materials to make sure those tablets and cell phones are always powered on.

Ben and Irene have launched a kickstarter for this promising new product. It sports a prismatic design, allowing it to catch rays at just about any angle, allowing for superior charging capacity.



Granola Strolla is a portable, affordable and easy to use solar charged batterypack able to charge USB devices as fast as a wall charger. 

The Granola Strolla works by absorbing power from sunlight, and storing the energy in its environmentally friendly Lithium Iron Phosphate battery. It charges up when you’re out and about so it will still have power when it is dark. The multi-directional design allows our product to always be charging. It’s light weight, water resistant and less expensive than other brands on the market.

It's an amazing idea, and I cannot wait to try it out. With all the battery-operated equipment we use today, this could be revolutionary.

Happy Earth Day

Earth Day was always a big deal to me growing up. I would grab my brother and sister and trot down our seldom-used road and pick up any bits of trash we saw on the way. It was fun and frivolous at the time, but it was enough so that I started to become conscious about the world around me, and to this day, when I do something green or something that would favor Earth over my convenience, I'm reminded of those Earth Days of years' past.

But picking up garbage is just one of the tiny and multiple ways you can get the message across to your kids.

Meanwhile, Alex at Alex Nguyen's Portraits has a stunning craft making bracelets out of bicycle tires. I know, when I say it, it doesn't sound cool. But check this out:

Way cooler now, right?


And a lot of us feel pressured to go hard or go home when it comes to going green. Jackie over at Accidentally Mommy realizes that's just not possible for all of us. Even the small steps we take are appreciated and should be recognized.
