GreenTech: Earthdrive USB drive is made of corn

The ATP Earthdrive isn’t made entirely of corn (a notoriously poor conductor of electricity, which is the reason I always head straight for a cornfield during thunderstorms) but partly of that specific commodity, as well as other elements more greenish than your average USB drive.

Apart from its probable deliciousness, the Earthdrive sources green cred from the fact that the manufacturer donates a portion of each unit sold to an organization that

plants trees. The packaging is plus made of recyled materials.

Practically speaking, the Earthdrive come in storage sizes ranging from 1GB to 8 GB, and will run you from $29 to $99. That’s a little more costly than lesser, planet-wrecking USB keys, but Gaia will smile whenever you transfer notes.
