iSave Faucet Water Counter for your Green Conscience

Addy Dugdale — Thu, 10 May 2007 07:18:24 EDT

The iSave is a rather simple gadget that has just clinched the runner-up prize in Metropolis Magazine's 2007 Next Generation Awards. Attach it to either your sink or a showerhead and it will show you just how much water you are using for your morning's ablutions/scrubbing last night's taco melt off your plates. Designed by Reamon Yu, it's not going to save any water, but it will make you conscious of just how much is used/wasted, and hopefully will push you to further reduce your consumption.

The iSave is powered by a small turbine embedded in the waterflow, so greenies among you need not worry about expending any more energy than you have to. It's not available as yet, but fingers crossed and faucets tight. – Ad Dugdale

Adding to Collection of Keyboard Puns: Save Key Piggybank

As a part of our continuing series on useful objects patterned after keyboard keys, our next candidate is this little play on words, a coin bank that looks like a Save button. Ironically, at $9.75 it just about costs more than the amount of coins it can hold.

Now if someone will make a trash can that looks like a Delete key, a remote car starter that looks like a start button and place a keyboard-like Home key on a GPS navigator, we could decorate our surroundings for total geekdom. – Charlie White
