If you had the option to use sunshine, wind or fossil fuels to charge your cellphone, which would you choose?

Droga5's first work for its newest client, energy company NRG, shows air travelers getting just that choice while waiting in a terminal. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of them seem to favor the greener options (one sourpuss can't be be bothered).

Check out the spot below, and the accompanying website here.
