The Charger thats as Green as you want to be

TheĀ Hymini from miniWIZ lets you store energy in its 1200-mAh internal lithium-ion battery so you can charge your other myriad portable devices — only it can get its juice from the sun and wind. Hang the $49 HYmini from your bike or mount it outside your car window to use the wind generator; attach optional solar panels (they’re $24 each) to put the sun’s rays to work; or just plug the thing into a wall socket or USB port.

The only flaw: the HYmini’s battery isn’t removable, so when it finally gives out (the company estimates it has 500 complete discharges in its life) you have to replace the whole thing. That makes the HYmini almost, but not quite green enough.
