Green Inventions
The number of electronic devices that exist is massive and new devices are being invented all the time. But
do we ever stop to think if all these devices are environmentally-friendly and whether we are harming the
environment for our “comfort”? Well, luckily, more and more people going “green.” As a result, many new
green inventions are being made. Here are just a few of the latest.
Rocking Chair
This green invention allows you to produce energy while sitting and relaxing. All you need to do is rock
back and forth to produce energy from your movement. All this energy can then be used to power
electronic devices, such as cell phones and laptops. You just plug in the devices to a USB connection
which is located on the rocking chair. It’s ideal for public places where people need to wait for a long time.
Musical Safety
This helmet has speakers inside it and is perfect for cyclists, skateboarders, snowboarders and anyone
else who wants to listen to music but doesn’t want to use headphones. You don’t need to use batteries or
charge it before you leave your house because it uses your movement to produce energy so that it can
work. All you have to do is choose your favorite music and just keep moving. This way you can be safe,
have fun and listen to music at the same time!
Sunny Security
Most security systems use a lot of energy, but not Sunny Security. This invention can power itself. All it
needs is the sun. It has solar panels which collect energy from the sun so you don’t have to worry about
wasting any electricity for it to work. Also, the alarm is just as loud as any ordinary alarm system so you
will definitely hear it!

1. This invention is ideal for active people. _MS_______

2. You can charge your gadgets while using this invention. __RC_______
3. This invention doesn’t need you to keep moving so that it can produce energy. __SS_______
4. You may find this invention at airports and train stations. __RC_______
5. This invention can also keep you safe from injury. __MS_______
