Conservation from the heart: A solar bra

Conservation from the heart: A solar bra

Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod. Oh, it also has pouches to store water so you don't have to carry around environmentally unfriendly plastic.

The bra is also equipped with pads designed to hold water, resembling mini drink pouches, in order to reduce the usage of cans and plastic bottles.

This product is not quite ready for the market, because the solar panels are in the stomach area and wearing clothing over them eliminates their effectiveness.

Still, you can see how those Japanese are always thinking, engineering, and looking for new trends.

Regardless of how well the solar panel works with clothes on, I feel certain that women around he globe will be eager to sport a bra that has beverage reservoirs on board.

Unless it malfunctions and it leaks...

I wonder what the figure would look like with bottles and pouches? I hope Madonna tries it out first.

Yes! this is one invention that needs to be encoraged. I envision thousands upon thousands of women in bras walking around doing their part for the environment.

Wheres Kalven Klein and why isn't he doing something to help. Cmon Victorias Secret! We need these bras to help mother earth!

It lifts, it separates, it gives you larger deffinition!

Great Idea!
