If I had the chance and enough knowledge to invent something useful worldwide, I would invent a fashionable protective clothing against global warming and other boiling elements.
It's 2012! There are rumors going around that it is the end-of-the-world year. According to those rumors that has been disseminated through mass media, there will be destructive events that will cause major problems to our mother Earth. I do not believe the "end of the world" part but I think it is possible to have few number of destructive natural events this year since we already had some during the past few years. Some of those are the Philippines' Ondoy and Sendong incident, and the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster. Global warming is one of the causes of those natural disasters. And according to the National Wildlife Federation (NWF), "Global warming is making hot days hotter, rainfall and flooding heavier, hurricanes stronger and droughts more severe". This is a big threat for all living things on earth which include human beings. That's why we, people, should prepare for the upcoming worse global warming (if it's not prevented to worsen). The protective clothing that I wanted to invent could be an alternative of curing or preventing people from having diseases that can be caused by global warming which sometimes leads to death. Skin Cancer and Heat Stroke are examples of those diseases.
We already have different kinds of clothing protections (e.g. heat and radiation protection for fire fighter clothing, molten metal protection for welders, stab protection and bulletproof vests, and spacesuits) Moreover, firefighters have Encapsulated Suit and Turnout Gear to protect themselves from gaseous contaminants and extreme heat. It is somehow alike to my ideal invention. But, my protective clothing invention is LIGHTER, EASIER to wear, and MORE FASHIONABLE! Therefore, more people would prefer wearing the both advantageous and fashionable clothes than just those trendy ones. In my own point of view, majority of the people would probably not want to wear a plain firefighter suit to protect themselves from (extreme) heat since it is kind of heavy and embarrassing to wear in public. The trendy or fashionable characteristic of my invention could encourage people to wear it which as the the same time prevents themselves from the bad affects of Global Warming.

On the picture above, I am wearing a fireman top suit. We can see that the color gives too much attention and the stripes are glowing in a lighted dark place. Maybe through some alterations, we can make it more wearable for casual events.

I am not sure yet what materials to use to make my protective clothing fashionable and effective since I haven't conducted any research yet but I am thinking of finding a material that is better than Aramid and Nomex. Aramid and Nomex are fire-resistant materials used for turnout gear worn by the firefighters. As much as possible, I want to use organic and/or recyclable materials.
The clothes would have variety of designs so that people will have the chance to choose unique and suitable clothes for them. We never know! Maybe someday, my ideal invention could be a designer clothes too.
AWESOME, FASHIONABLE and USEFUL!!! ♥♥♥
