(2022·长沙检测)Will you be crazy about these newlybuilt products that are not merely quite useful but also good to the environment? Come and see then!
Ecofriendly Umbrella
Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface.Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily.This ecofriendly design is more flexible.It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.
Pollutionsensitive Dress
Don't be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air.The pollutionsensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly.This dress—which is actually quite pretty—looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty.It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won't do you any favor if you're meeting with clients.
Ecofriendly Car Racer
Can you image a car racer is so ecofriendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry.It is sold at $51,000.
Ecofriendly Moss (苔藓) Carpet
Do you know it is said that walking on fresh grass can really increase your blood circulation? The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet.The mat includes ball moss,island moss and forest moss.The humidity(湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well.And that's why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.
