Invention of a new technology to prevent C02 accumulations and decelerate global warming is vital to save the human race and all other living species on Earth. The solution; an organism that will not only provide us with clean air to breath but also filter the air that surrounds us. Phytoplankton is a unicellular plant that produces oxygen and is responsible for 50% of the Earth’s oxygen production. Creating a symbiosis relationship between phytoplankton and humans will help clear the air of all its toxins. In order to survive

and transform pollutants into oxygen, phytoplankton needs C02, a water environment and sunlight.

CC is a wearable garment that allows for the survival of this organism. The plankton live in transparent tubes filtering the CO2 we exhale. A felt mesh is also placed near the mouth, purifying harmful components present in our direct environment. CC can make a change by allowing humans be a part of the solution.
