Making use of wood that would otherwise go to waste is clearly an environmentally sound idea, to add to their green credentials WeWood plants a tree for every watch purchased.

The clock is so efficient that instead of filling the compartments with water you can fill them with moist soil and the clock will still be able to draw enough electrical energy to work. This allows you to be able to grow small plants, or to start off cuttings in the clock, adding a greener dimension to the clock.

The Clean Energy Water Clock is available in two colours, green and clear, and measures 18 cm x 3.7 cm x 9.5 cm (7.1 in x 1.5 in x 3.7 in). The water clock is an attractive way to keep time in an eco-friendly way, and makes an interesting feature to any room.

Water Powered Digital Alarm Clock

Anita (EnviroGadget Writer) — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 10:00:11 +0000

This Water Powered Digital Alarm Clock allows you to keep track of time without needing to keep track of batteries. Powered by water, the alarm clock only requires additional water roughly ever month to keep it working.

The Water Powered Digital Alarm Clock uses water to create electrical energy. It achieves this through an electrochemical reaction between the water and the devices electrodes. The electrical energy generated is used to power the digital clock display, allowing you to clearly see the time from a glance. The clock features date settings, time settings, hour notification through a beep and an alarm setting.

It should be noted that both the hourly alert beep and the alarm beep are not powerful sounds, they are notifications that it has reached the hour or time of alarm. Some may find the alarm insufficient to awaken them if used as a morning wake up alarm, though it can still be used as an alarm throughout the day for other purposes, such as cooking. The alarm clock measures 11.5 cm x 14 cm x 6.5 cm (4.53 in x 5.51 in x 2.56 in).

By using water as a power source the clock is freed from the need for a constant supply of batteries. Unlike solar powered clocks there is no need to consider the clocks position and it is simple and quick to top up the water level should the clock have run out of power. The only forethought required to keep the clock operational is the addition of water which needs to be done roughly every month.

The Water Powered Digital Alarm Clock makes a great gift for just £7.50.

The Re-Purposed Beer Bottle Clocks are a different way of helping to reduce the amount of glass in landfill. Instead of being melted down to be recycled, (or thrown away!) the beer bottles for these clocks are partially melted to produce an iconic time piece that is sure to be a talking point on any wall.

The Re-Purposed Beer Bottle Clocks are an entertaining way to make use of discarded beer bottles. There are 3 variations of the clock, Budweiser, Guinness and Stella Artois, each clock features the beer labels allowing you to proudly show to all what your favorite tipple is. The glass of the bottles has been melted enough to allow them to be flattened down to create the clock face, giving each one the appearance of having been flattened by a steam roller.

The time piece of the clock does require an AA battery, we recommend using a rechargeable battery and if possible charging the battery from an eco-friendly electricity source. Each beer bottle clock measures roughly 22 cm x 9 cm x 4 cm (8.66 in x 3.54 in x 1.57 in). The Re-Purposed Beer Bottle Clock is a decorative and functional way of re-purposing old glass bottles, creating a great gift for anyone who is passionate about recycling and beer!
