Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

The latest in the ecotech craze offerings is a shoe that generates electricity upon movement. Apparently, the shoes generate 1.2 watts of electricity and according to the manufacturer, this will power an Ipod forever. But, don't stop walking as the system doesn't store power.
