In this age of portable electronic devices, who has the time to find a power source? People are growing more and more mobile, spending as much time about town as at home. At the same time, we carry more battery-powered electronics with us as well, from cell phones to MP3 players to laptops. Therefore a rather ironic conflict between individual and electronic mobility arises. If you’re always on the go, how do you have time to charge all these electronic devices?

Perhaps someday the solar cell phone will catch on, but in the meantime designer Jonathan Globerson thinks he has the answer: the free solar charging station. Designed to be made from retreated bamboo, Globerson hopes his solar charging stations will pepper the urban landscape of the near future, offering the fast-paced populace a free power source for recharging their laptops and cell phones, devices which have moved from luxuries to necessities for the modern worker.

These solar charging stations are equipped with USB ports and power outlets. The idea is to maintain a free power source by way of advertising on the station itself. In other words, sponsorship. It just may work too, as industry as a whole begins to really grasp green ideology and social and environmental responsibility.
