Solar lights can be staked to the ground wherever you wish to place them in or around your property. They contain strong solar panels that absorb the light’s warm energy all day and then radiate it back at night in a smooth, soothing glow of light. There are many different models to choose from.

2. Backyard Composters. The new backyard composters make it easier than every to recycle your yard waste and kitchen scarps.

3. Composting toilets. If you are really into keeping the earth waste-free, you may be interested in the new composting toilets that are geared toward the environmentally friendly crowd. These fine toilets work just like regular toilets, except that they compost much of your waste.

4. Solar Flashlight and Radio. Every household needs a good radio and flashlight. Why not get both in a cozy package that is not only convenient, but also very environmentally friendly? The solar flashlight and radio package allows you to charge the device simply by letting it sit in the sun. You can also turn the crank whenever you need an extra dose of power.

5. Rain Harvesting Barrels. Indigenous people in many parts of the world, especially the dry places, have long done rain harvesting. Rain harvesting barrels work no matter where you live.
