Charging your phone with plant power

A technology company from Spain is introducing an interesting new concept: The world's first plant pot that charges your phone with electricity from plants' photosynthesis, called Bioo.

"Using a compact and modern technology we are able to produce electricity from the simple, every-day process which plants rely on to survive, photosynthesis," they say. "Bioo provides a day and night constant electricity supply, proving that plants may just be the way out for truly clean renewable energies. With Bioo Lite we plan to redesign the concept of charging your phone or tablet. We want to make it easy to use, as easy as a normal electricity plug you now use from the wall, but instead, adding the clean and awesome look a plant of your choice provides.

"We have plants everywhere, as decoration in our own homes or our work places. Why not use them for an even better matter. Plug in your devices to charge up in our unique, modern-looking plant pots and forget about your phone or tablet's battery level. With Bioo Lite we are not only helping the environment by using plants as an energy source, but also we intend to help our users by reducing their daily electricity consumption. No more electricity plugs, your own plants have got you fully covered with Bioo Lite."
