Don't be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air．The pollution-sensitive 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．
Eco-friendly Umbrella
Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface．Although it is changeable，you cannot replace it easily．This eco-friendly 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．
Eco-friendly Moss （苔藓） Carpet
It is said that walking on fresh grass increases 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．
