GREEN STARS POWERED BY SUN

February 25, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Los Angeles, CA – With the increasing threat of climate change and with an eye toward eco-consciousness and sustainability, many Hollywood celebrities are signing up to participate in the 4th annual S.W.A.G.G. (Sustainability, Wellness and Green Gifts) program on Oscar® Night. In its first year to participate in the S.W.A.G.G. program, Solar Style, Inc. has donated 40 hard-to-get and easy-to-use, SC003 solar powered cell phone chargers. Those stylish chargers can keep participating celebrities chatting away to their friends, families and agents on the big night before, during, and after their saunter down the red carpet without having to stop and plug in.

Besides the powerful little solar charger, S.W.A.G.G. program celebrities receive other green goodies and get to choose a hybrid or alternative fuel vehicle instead of a carbon-dioxide emitting limo. Past program participants have included Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Harrison Ford, Don Cheadle, Kirten Dunst and Jack Black.

Solar Style’s new model SC003 charger gives users access to power when they need it, not just when they’re near an outlet. This on-the-go power is liberating for the time-constrained, or for those who are truly mobile and don’t want to be limited by access to traditional power sources. The solar chargers eliminate the need for carrying additional battery packs and helps streamline what users need to stay powered up during their hectic day-to-day activities. The new chargers are easy on the environment, eliminating the need to carry spare batteries or to use traditional, pollution-inducing, fossil-fuel-created electricity. Since the charger can use any indoor or outdoor light source, they’re crucial for emergency, power shortage, rolling blackout or severe weather situations.

The solar charger absorbs all light energy – not just the sun’s – turning it into usable electricity. This electricity is used to charge the attached device or the internal Battery-on-Board™. Once the battery is charged, electronic devices, such as cell phones, can be plugged in for use day or night. Further, the Battery-on-Board™ technology provides stable power for immediate cell phone use, while the solar panel continues to collect energy for future or nighttime use, eliminating downtime. Solar charger users can maximize space and investment: The Solar Style chargers are compatible with many digital devices, including call phones, PDAs, MP3s, gaming devices and digital cameras.

Consumers can feel good about using Solar Style’s charger because by simply using the product, they’re helping to lighten the environmental energy load. The solar charger is easy on consumers’ pocket books, too, currently available, due to high demand, only on the company’s website for $35.99. Other models range from $29.99 to $55.99.

The popular annual gift bag program was originally created by Big Imagination Group for green-friendly celebrities who attend the Academy Awards. As a part of the program, Solar Style also made a cash donation to Global Green USA in support of sustainable causes.
