Working Assets Wireless said it will begin offering consumers the Solio, a solar powered charger by Better Energy Systems which accepts power from the sun or a wall socket. This charger is available for free as part of a limited offer and will also be available for sale through Working Assets Wireless with other phones.

The mobile operator plans to donate 1% of a sale to progressive organizations working for environmental protection and other causes. Better Energy Systems will kick in an additional 1% donation for each solar-charger sale as well. Both companies feel purchasing one of these solar powered chargers will help reduce an individual's carbon footprint.

They've been doing good stuff for charities in the US for over a decade. Time they thought about invading Europe!

What about making a solar powered cell phone. There would be no need to have a charger. Or integrate the charger somewhere on the outside of a building or car.
