The blooming flower gadget that wilts when we use too much power in the home

Homeowners battling rising energy bills can now keep an eye on their electricity consumption with a high-tech flower that wilts when too many appliances are left on.
The blooming gadget connects wirelessly to the home's electricity meter and changes colour and shape depending on the amount of electricity used.
When electricity use is low the flower glows a healthy greenish-blue and stands tall and open.

Sign the ProtectSeals Petition to Stop Cruel Seal Hunts
23/11/08 14:48 Filed in: Inspirations
Dear Friend,
The European Union is considering a ban on trade in seal products. Ten countries have already ended their trade in seal products or announced their plans to do so. By closing down markets for seal products, we can ensure no more seals are clubbed or shot for their fur.
I hope you'll sign a petition in support of an EU ban on trade in seal products. It will only take a minute. Thank you for joining me in working to end cruel seal hunts.
