SO2LAR

December 2021

A speculative design artefact that can be worn on the body, for use in Sheffield 2100. By simply inhaling through the mouthpiece, it purifies the air and records the amount of pollutants that you remove. The wearer can then go to a seed bank to collect seed coins in exchange for the amount of air they have purified.

Throughout the year, different seeds will be traded to promote crop rotation and the development of food forests. Like a wallet, a few seed coins can be carried in the device to keep them safe when travelling, not too many, however, as it is encouraged to plant them as soon as possible, as most sowing is seasonal.
