Instead, let us see what all it tries to do, to make us more responsible citizens of this planet. Fashioned as an athletic wristwatch it uses kinetic energy as a clean power source. Although it does function as a regular watch, it also constantly keeps pulling in air through the intake vents collecting CO2, and expels new clean air via the exhaust vents. A step in the right direction for an individual, the eCO2 has the potential to make a powerful impact if worn collectively. Now only if somehow we could balance out the pros and the cons of a carbon dioxide scrubber. Original article [...] [...] The question here is not whether the eCO2 concept is realistic or not.

It's needlessly cruel. Why would you do that to someone? Let's see you put this much work into something. I think the CO2 idea is wonderful. Perhaps if the watch had some kind of capsule in the back that you could empty into a separate container that houses a plant or something, and once the capsule was full the watch would simply stop scrubbing until it was emptied. The issue of the carbon used in production is definitely something to think about, but I can't imagine it being the biggest obstacle. This is a brilliant idea. I'm imagining instead of a watch, why not a house with scrubbers, so that the house actually eliminates some of it's own footprint? Why not have factories with scrubbers? There are a lot of useful ideas here! Keep shifting them around, I'm sure you'll find something that'll work. Cruelest thing you can do is tell someone that their design or concept is stupid.
