Northern part part of Europe have been at the forefront pf sustainable/environment tech development for quite a while now. Now the “green” trend is moving into everyday electronics gadgets and Finnish Nokia wants to lead the way. At least with their marketing efforts.

Last week it was their first “environment friendly” Nokia 3110 Evolve marketing initiative. This week Nokia came up with a futuristic Nokia Eco Sensor Concept:

Nokia Eco Sensor concept includes a wearable sensor unit that will house a number of optional sensors to monitor environment, health and local weather conditions, a dedicated mobile phone and a set of dedicated mobile software applications and services.

All the devices will be made using the latest environment friendly technologies and materials like printed electronics, bio-materials and reclaimed materials. The carrying strap made from solar cells will power the sensor unit and all the devices will “talk” to each other via low power near field radio technologies.

And that concludes Nokia’s “environmental” plug for this week. I wonder what the next week will bring us
