If you’re a keen traveler, interested in getting to know the far flung corners of the Earth, you’ll probably have seen enough to make you worried about the Earth’s future and anxious to do what you can to save it. Over the past few years, an increasing number of travel options have developed to make eco-conscious tourism more practical. Now, a new range of solar accessories and inventions for the eco-conscious traveler mean that you can go green even when you’re in the middle of the desert. Solar backpacks are, by now, an established trend, and they’re a must-have if you’re journeying somewhere remote where you might find yourself without other sources of power. With the energy generated by your backpack you can power a phone or radio so that you’re always able to call for help in an emergency. You can power a light so that you can get around after dark, and you can also provide yourself with luxuries like music. Pretty good going, given that you’d have to carry some kind of backpack regardless. Now, in addition to your backpack, you can purchase a solar pith helmet. With a small fan attached to generate cold air, this is the perfect item to keep you cool in the heat of the tropics. It may not look fashionable, but it’s lightweight and comfortable to wear, and when even fanning yourself makes you sweat, you’ll be glad of it. Also essential if you’re traveling to hot and humid places is a solar powered mosquito repellent. Simple but effective, these pocket-sized gadgets emit a high pitched, oscillating noise which you’ll hardly hear but which will send mosquitoes fleeing. It’s the number one way to be safe without the need for messy and unpleasant chemicals, and without any fear of what might happen to you if you run out of conventional repellent. With all these useful solar accessories and inventions now available to help, it’s easy to go solar and improve your travel experience at the same time.
