Friday Quickie: Use that Solar Energy!

Hot enough for you, Philly?

Make the best of that HOT sun outside and use… solar energy to charge up your goods!  Solar backpacks and chargers are the craze that can help charge your portable devices while you’re at the beach, camping or just lounging around in Rittenhouse Park.  There’s a variety of brands such as Freeloader, in sports stores like REI or try Googling your preferred products.

I’m psyched to try my new solar backpack around town while getting toasty! Readers, do you use any solar products?
