How might wearable technology inspire environmental action?

Looking into the question “How might we create global environmental impact, by collective participation in simple, individual tasks?” Sponge Suit presents the concept “clean as you swim” with a swimwear that incorporates a carbon based novel material that repels water and absorbs any oil based contamination. The material’s super-porous structure traps absorbed contamination within, preventing from continuing interaction with human skin. The project aims to highlight the ocean pollution that is spreading into our beaches, and is a call to action to be more environmentally proactive in daily or leisure activities.
