Blinds That Become Lights? Let's Call 'Em Blights!

If your hybrid car and solar powered toothbrush aren’t doesn’t fufill your desire to help mother nature, then you are on your way to getting a Blight or a RITI coffee printer.

A great idea and surprisingly easy to use, this printer only makes sense for exceptionally environmentally conscious coffee drinkers, or someone with  extra time and money. You won’t be seeing this in your office anytime soon. And for those of you who don’t know what Dregs are (I didn’t either), it’s the coffee bean and water sludge that is leftover after you make coffee.

The Blight lights are a little more reasonable, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn them off! The exciting part is that this is just the beginning. These will be able to be plugged back into your household grid eventually, allowing you to create your own energy.

Both of these items are part of Core77′s Greener Gadgets Design Competition, so you can stop looking for your Sharper Image catalog, because these gadgets aren’t for sale, yet.
