This Sweatshirt Goes Green by Changing Colors!
Have you ever heard of a sweatshirt going green? Well, a new type of sweatshirt created by New York University students Nien Lam and Sue Ngo does just that. The sweatshirt contains an image of a heart or lungs, and the image changes color when it senses pollution in the air! Nien and Sue invented this sweatshirt for a school project. But its environmental impact reaches far beyond the classroom! Here is a video that shows this amazing sweatshirt at work.
