Tuesday night at the National Clean Energy Summit, Mayor Bloomberg of New York City expressed his vision of a cleaner more green New York. He urged the need for energy-efficient design and proposed alternative methods of obtaining power, whether it be by wind or solar means. He goes as far as suggesting to add wind turbines to both the Brooklyn Bridge and Empire State Building, a move that would dramatically change the NYC skyline.

But with good intentions, Bloomberg hopes to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the city by 30% before 2030 making New York the cleanest air of any large American city.  Our hats are off to you Mr. Bloomberg, we wish more leaders cared about our well-being as much as you do.

If you enjoy ogling your body in the mirror while your shower water heats up, it can be a real pain walking back and forth between the shower and the mirror to check the water temperature. The LED Shower Head provides a visual notification on when your water temperature reaches above 89° F/32° C.

When the water temperature reaches the warmer temperatures, the LED light changes from blue to red, letting you know that you can jump in the shower and not freeze to death. The LED Shower Head is even pretty eco-friendly. It doesn’t need batteries for power, as the water pressure pushing built-in turbines provide all of the energy it needs.
