What's underneath your trench coat?

The Bite

Besides your birthday suit. Answer: gizmos that put Inspector Gadget to shame. Here are our energy-saving, waste-reducing green gadget picks. Now go-go gadget eco-tip!

 

The Benefits

 

Getting a clue about sustainability. Geeks (including girl geeks) love being on the cutting edge - and green technology that combines recycled and sustainable materials with usefulness is the newest wave of gadgetry.

Wowsers! These contraptions won over the gizmo-nerds on the Bite team.
