Give Your Laptop a Green Make-over with Earth Loving Accessories

Computers have come along way since the first commercially available portable computer, an IBM 5100 which weighed in at a back breaking 55 lbs, hit the market in 1975. Now you can get a truly portable computer that weighs a measly 2 lbs and carry it in your recycled backpack protected by a recycled sleeve. Too many computer products are made from carcinogenic PVC, so I try to find accessories made of renewable bamboo, recycled plastic, or hemp when possible. Don’t know where to find them? We’re here to help!
