Las Vegas is currently hosting one of my most favorite events- the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the biggest annual gadget event. Here innovators and leaders in the world of electronics showcase their latest super cool developments.
This year the organizers managed to ensure no one leaves disappointed. The technologies are truly amazing, waking up the hidden geek inside even the toughest among us. As always, green technologies are very well represented too. On display this week is a wide range of sustainable products and ideas- from smart cities and green fuels to futuristic vehicles and wearable devices. Of course, CES would not be the same without the annual edition of the CES Green Guide.
The guide provides a unique opportunity to get familiar with all sustainability exhibitors prior to your visit to CES 2019. You can read about all innovative companies present at the show, and get to know their eco-friendly products, awards that they grant and receive, as well as future sustainable plans and ambitions. There is also a listing of the Green Tech events, and awards that you can enter with your green idea or invention. Last but not least, there is a link to Green Gadgets initiative (I will post it here because I find it very cool) for self assessment, where you can see what you can do to live a greener life.
So here is my top 5 in no particular order. Of course, there are quite a few more, so if you think my selection is not entirely fair, do visit the Green Guide for a full overview, and let me know in the comments section what you found worth mentioning in the top 5.
