    Over consumption of energy leads to disastrous results, and that is not only true for the planet! With most people opting for the most clichéd New Year resolution of slimming down, this year you can add a little green twist. Tanita solar technology has come out with the new Tanita HS-302 Solar Digital Scale which combines Japanese electronics with its second generation solar technology to give you a unique weighing scale that uses direct sunlight or indoor lighting for power, so that the power does not get over, no matter how heavy an object you are weighing on the scale.


    The scale itself has been made by a new kind of ABS plastic using biodegradable resins, which is called as Terramac. Terramac reduced the overall carbon emissions 20%, which means, you leave a lot lesser carbon foot-print in comparison to when you use a regular battery-operated scale. And it’s available at a neat $60, which means that much money less in your pocket to splurge on junk food!
