Lexon's New Gadgets Brought To You By Corn, Bamboo, and the Sun
Lexon recently announced a new line of sustainably powered
gadgets that are decidedly down to Earth. That is, they're made
from bamboo and maize bio-plastics. And let me tell you, corn
has never looked better.  If you're in the market for a new
calculator, alarm clock, or FM radio, why wouldn't you want it
to be made from corn and bamboo? Especially when it looks this
handsome.  View gallery »  Not only are the devices made with
sustainable materials, they're powered sustainably too: the
clocks grab up energy from the sun and the radio has a fold-out
crank to get its juice. From the looks of things, that radio
doubles as a portable speaker for MP3 players and the like. Just
don't bring it around any pandas. [Core77]
