Happy Earth Day everyone! Today (and every day) we are thankful for the blue sky, the warm sun, the oceans and streams, the beautiful hills and towering mountains, for the trees, green grass and spring flowers!
We are also thankful that the USA Today featured iZen as one of 5 cool green gadgets for Earth Day!

iZen Bamboo is raising funds to help finance production of the first eco-friendly bamboo and bluetooth keyboard. People are encouraged to pledge money in exchange for discounted products on the Kickstarter website, http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/805904645/izen-bamboo-keyboard.
Every
year, more and more new tech gadgets are manufactured and consumed, using high
levels of energy, rare earth metals and precious crude oil. After people
are done with them, they sit in landfills for thousands of years. iZen Bamboo’s mission is to help this

The first eco-friendly bamboo and bluetooth keyboard, and the coolest keyboard on the market is now available for sale at www.izenbamboo.com. The keyboard works with iPads, iPhones, Macs, Androids, Window Mobile devices, and many other Bluetooth-enabled smartphones and tablet PCs. Its low profile, portable design is great for anyone on-the-go, and the simple and natural look will add more Zen to your life. Hand-made out of 92% bamboo, this keyboard is a perfect alternative for the eco-conscious consumer.
