I am ECOGEECO the Eco Hero. All the gadgets I use are powered by a small solar array in my back yard. The solar array charges 3 deep cycle batteries in my garage. I then use this to charge all my gadgets. By doing this I offset the electricity that I use from the Grid to charge my electric car that also has several panels on it. With all of these gadgets and my EV I drive around the county to the area schools and talk to all the kids about saving the planet. One of the things the kids really like is that all the gadgets used for the presentation are powered by the sun. I also use all my solar powered gadgets when I volunteer for events. Such as Lake cleanups, street cleanups, Bike rodeos and Race for the Cure. In all my family and I try to volunteer every week for an event. We call it 52 Saturdays. One event every week for an entire year. We have so much fun that next year we are probably going to do it again. We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors we only borrow it from our children. (Native American saying)

    What a great example you're setting...seems like you're really green from your head to toes. I think that you'd really make good use of the Ultimate Eco Geek grand prize. Best of luck to you!

      Thank you. I do intend on using it to SAVE THE PLANET! Using the prize for my school visits is the idea. I love what I do.

    Wow, you are a true 'greenie' in every aspect of the word. Your 'Eccogeeco' slogan is so very appropriate. You certainly have my vote. Good luck with the contest, Jason.

      Thanks for the vote! I do like being GREEN. I dont always like it when I have to take off the green and become my alter ECO at my "day job". But every super hero needs to have a secret identity.
