CRISIS - Beverly Visty-Doman, Executive Director of Wherever the Need USA. "With 2.6 billion people worldwide lacking access to proper sanitation, and thousands dying each day, most of them children, EcoStrip's support is a huge asset to us. We're very excited to work with them."

We want to say a big thank you to the folks over at EcoStrip for contributing to our "Climate Love Pack" giveaway bags. We love these ingenious electronics as it dramatically reduces your carbon footprint!

The Ecostrip is the next generation of phantom-power reducing devices. It recognizes that most of these power-sucking devices are computer peripherals.

"Here is a great idea for lazy and forgetful slugs like me: a power bar with a USB connection to your computer, so it detects when the computer is turned off, and then shuts down all of the peripherals."

"We all have to pitch in to save the Earth from slowly burning to death - luckily, now we can - one power strip at a time. The USB Ecostrip is a power strip that connects to your computer via a USB cable."

"USB Ecostrip Saves Power"

"The USB Ecostrip comes with a USB connector that hooks up to your computer - hence when you turn your computer off, the entire power strip will also turn itself off, helping you save power in the process. This helps the forgetful types to power down other devices that shares the same power strip each time the PC is shut down."
