Green Headset - The Rest Of The Story
Mr. Green struck out, almost!
Finding a green Bluetooth headset manufacturer proved to be a difficult task.
While Motorola has developed green policies, I don't see much of that filtering down to the product level. I liked many of their Bluetooth devices, some giving me the appearance of a bald Robo-Cop...
Other paths lead nowhere in my search and I finally arrived with what I feel was a positive step toward "green".
What did I buy?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Now I won't look cool at the beach, but I reduced my carbon footprint by using AVAILABLE EXISTING RESOURCES, which in this case equals my TomTom Go700 GPS Unit.
I had forgotten that it has built in Bluetooth and will pair automatically with my Blackberry 8800.
After a few minutes of fumbling through the setup, every time the GPS turns on it pairs with the phone.
Now, I don't to worry about violating the California Wireless Headset Law.
I think someone forgot to tell the Burbank PD about the new law. I've seen a couple of their units blabbing away, phone in hand......
Come on guys... HANG UP AND DRIVE!

Hi Bob,
I just came across your blog post about the eco investment club. What a great idea! I just wanted to pass along another tip for people that aren’t interested in getting into the stock market but still want to make sure their money is green ☺. I’m working with an environmentally responsible bank called ShoreBank to promote their Online High-Yield Savings Account. Please contact me directly if you would like to know more about what ShoreBank is doing to promote green iniatives. Thanks!
