Solar Energy Bra Powers Phones & iPods

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. Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally  friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which  features a solar panel worn around the stomach.The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not  be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people  usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."  But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet,  Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day  to avoid damaging it.Being eco-friendly is now fashionable in Japan, and the "Solar Energy Bra"  follows the company's other green-themed undergarments that include a bra that  turns into a reusable shopping bag and one that featured metal chopsticks to  promote the use of reusable chopsticks. "It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly  efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said. News Source: Reuters Read full story...
