As I walk to school, I worry no more about using my school apps on an uncharged galaxy note. I whip out my laptop at the bus stop and worry no more about charging my smartphone or my laptop - my new Voltaic backpack is charging them as I study! I walk out of class and head over to the coffee shop - ooh, I can sit outside and charge all my devices while I sip a latte. As I walk between classes, I can rest easy - I can take notes on my tablet and look at my flashcards app on my phone without looking around for an outlet. Somewhere, a coal miner can work a little less - I'm one in 6 billion using a little less energy - doing my part!

I've just tried this transportation method because the public transport service is a mess. I think is my little gift to the sustainability of our planet not taking the bus or using my car. From my house to the University are about 6.5 km, so taking that backpack on me while skating through the city would be awesome. By the way, the weather here is awesome, about 28°C. Thanks Inhabitat and Voltaic System for this GREAT opportunity! Good luck to everyone! Roller skating is my new way to go from my house to the University, I live in Querétaro, México.

I have a tendency to save paper even with one side used. I cycle to school and back (with the exception of those frigid winters!). I won't leave my charger plugged into my laptop if I'm not using it. I'll be bringing a water bottle and packing my own lunch so we don't have to deal with any more waste. My most determined goal is to demand an energy policy for my school that leaves so many lights on at night. I hope you support this!! I plan on greening my back to school year by:

I'll bring my own lunches with me to school and work, in a reusable tupperware. Buying food in bulk helps cut back on packaging, so I'll be doing that as much as possible. One time use bottles are terribly wasteful so I'll continue to bring my own drinks in sturdy reusable form. Biking and taking public transit are the final steps to my green school routine, but I'm always on the lookout for new ideas. I'll be checking in on the Inhabitat page for more tips to green up fall 2012, and also Voltaic to see what other cool eco-awesome products they have. Thanks.
