This dad and grad season, consider eco-gadgets. For the dad on the go, and the grad on a budget, try this sleek design and gum stick size gadget, the Ecosol Powerstick.

Eco-gadgets are cutting-edge technologies (going green is a relatively new wave) fresh off the assembly lines. Eco-gadgets are made to conserve and limit energy consumption, run on solar power, limit the use of raw materials, and/or reuse content. Eco-gadgets prove that you can save green, be green, and please the techie in your life.

The Ecosol Powerstickis a device that can power mobile electronics like cell phones, digital cameras, and MP3 players.

The Powerstick is a recharging device that prevents the need for schlepping wall and auto chargers around. How did we ever live without this all-in-one power charger? Charged by plugging its USB port into a computer, the Powerstick draws power and stores it for use later.

Its green feature is not an addition to the device, rather, it's a lack of traditional charging feature, a battery and wall charging adapter. Batteries and adapters contain metals that when thrown out after its life cycle or more often, after being replaced by a newer model, contributes pollutants to the environment. Also, leaving those chargers plugged in will continue to draw power, if they are connected to the device or not.

This gift is one any dad would love to show off to his buddies or a grad will find really useful when out conquering the world. Beyond function, it's earth friendly and gifts really do not get better than that.
