Yesterday was Earth Day, a day of appreciating this big rock upon which we ride through space. A short list of the teen stars du-jour including Miley Cyrus, Hayden Panettiere, Zac, Efron and Hillary Duff have teamed up with a popular kid’s magazine to pimp environmentally friendly gadgets and other consumer goods.

One of the newest fashions in Green Gadgets today is the solar cell phone charger. Are you still putting Mother Earth through the indignity of recharging your cell phone or PDA with that dirty coal fired electrical outlet or USB port? Getting with the times has never been so fashionable.

Solar chargers are surprisingly portable, just a few inches long and about 5 ounces in weight.  This Solio cell phone charger is highly rated and can deliver a full charge to your cell phone in about an hour just using the sunlight.

Most will charge your device in ample time, about the same as a USB port. Of course using most solar chargers doesn’t discount the in-wall or USB option if direct sunlight isn’t available.

Who are we mere mortals to question the collective wisdom of teen celebrities? Going green can be KEWL!
