I was thinking about the amount of energy we use to run all of our electronics and gadgets. I was also thinking about the countless toys that our kids receive for the holidays, that consume batteries to no end. What if we could convert more of these electronics, gadgets and toys to alternative energy sources? As I was pondering this, I saw an advertisement for a beautiful Citizen watch that never needs a battery. It runs on light; I wasn't sure whether this meant sunlight or any light, including artificial light inside buildings Yet, I thought it was exciting that this company designed a product that avoids the aggravation and waste of batteries. Wouldn't it be great if electronic game systems or toys that light up or talk would be battery-free and recharge with nothing more than light? We would never have to worry about checking packages for the size or type of batteries needed and never have to run back to a store if we forgot to purchase the batteries. Maybe they should sell generator-type devices specifically for all of our electronics, gadgets and toys to power them with wind or sunlight. That way, we could reserve our fossil fuel use for more of the essentials, such as heat, lighting, etc. This might be one way to conserve power a bit more and ease our fossil fuel demand. As the holidays draw near and we are using power to a maximum for all of our events, decorations, etc., we need to keep in mind that fossil fuels can't be consumed in this manner indefinitely. Perhaps now would be a good time for us to focus on ways that we can enjoy the more luxury items in life through the use of renewable energy sources.
