Today is Earth Day!!!  Make sure to go out and do something nice for the environment like:  use a ceramic mug instead of a disposable coffee cup, recycle your newspaper and soda cans, ride your bike to work instead of driving.  Not only will you feel good about yourself, but you will be making a panda happy.  What can be better than that?!!  Speaking of helping our friends the pandas, take a look at this slick new phone from AU (KDDI) and Sharp.  It has a solar panel that charges the phone.  Ten minutes of sunlight will give you one minute of talk time or 2 hours of stand-by.  Plus, it is also water-proof.  To me, this is the perfect phone for the beach.  Lots of sun, and no worries if it gets splashed.  The phone is scheduled to be released in Japan in June.  Let’s hope this little beauty makes it to the US. 

Of course, check out a few cute panda pics after the break.
