Green Screen: Living Face Mask Captures Carbon, Filters Bacteria

Ecouterre:

Made with pulp derived from fungal spores, along with seeds that eventually sprout, this concept face mask blows its high-concept competition clear away. Not only does "Green Screen" filter airborne bacteria away from delicate nasal passages, but it also sequesters carbon dioxide from every exhalation.

You can also detect any Klingons in the vicinity with these 'Green Screens'-- or Tribbles, as they are affectionately called on the streets.

This just proves the Climate Change movement wants to stop the human population from developing naturally. People have told me that CO2 from emissions are the problem, but this clearly shows CO2 from our own lungs are the problem. Insanity.

Yes, it's all a plot to stop people from breathing. The BILLIONS of tons of carbon pumped into the atmosphere by factories, cars, etc. - that's all just a "smokescreen". Better put another layer of tinfoil around your head there, pal.

You must stop using this outdated over-played 'Tinfoil Hat' meme. It's kind of like calling someone a antisemitic because they believe Palestine has the right to exist. The Climate Change movement has released scores of articles stating having less children is the way to save the planet from CO2. If you looked at the main backers of the Climate Bill you will see a direct connection to unethical oligarchs but you won't do that, just call me a silly name and everything is ok.

Wow. I think there should be a contest for naming this wonder of science. My vote goes for either "facemuff" or "green beaver".

Oh Wow! This gives a new meaning to, "Nature provides everything we need to live.". I love science.
