Microworks takes the literal approach to greening up your chargers and wires. Instead of trying to ditch wires altogether, or come up with a way to hide them, Microworks decided to embrace the cord and make it pretty! So they made it look a little more like a piece taken from grandma's floral arrangement craft stash .
Sure, this concept charger doesn't do much to be environmentally friendly, unless the leaves are made from recycled PET or some such material and the charger is energy efficient. But still, it's the thought that counts.
Someone figured a faux vine forest is better than black snake chaos. And we'll have to agree, for now.
