Green Idea: Sun Table

2007_12_19 sun table .jpgWhile the weather during this time of year does not allow it, we do like to work on our laptop out in the backyard. While our Wi-Fi connection means no need for a wired connection to the internet, our aging Powerbook battery means a limited time in the sun unless we string an extension cord from the house. So when we came across the Sun Table we thought that we might have found the perfect solution.

 
 

We will need a patio table come the summer and our backyard gets a ton of sun, so having a sustainable source of power that can also be used as a workspace is the ideal solution. So how much? $3600. Not cheap, but a great idea and hopefully something that becomes more affordable as time goes on.

Do you live at the Boathouse in Prospect Park? Kidding, kidding! Anyway, it's a neat idea for a table.

cool... and it forces you to keep the table clean so it can suck as much power from the sun as possible.
