Outdoor Decor As Green As Its Surroundings

Daily Greenz #154

Now that the weather’s finally taken a turn for the warmer, we’re all looking forward to spending as much time as possible in the great outdoors. Gaiam, which offers a number of other eco-chic furnishings for your backyard, has the perfect solution to allow you to appreciate the sun long after it goes down. Hang their Solar Shoji Lanterns around your outdoor area or place them atop a table to keep the party going long after dusk. These festive lanterns collect sunlight through a solar panel and charge the rechargeable AAA battery all day, relying on a photo sensor to cue the illumination of your surroundings at dusk.   Plus, the lanterns’ glow comes from light emitting diodes (LEDs),
which can last up to 20 times as long as incandescent light bulbs and
consume significantly less energy.  These durable LEDs are protected by
a weatherproof nylon orb, ensuring you’ll be able to hang them for many
summers to come.
