In winter, gloves can prevent our hands from getting cold, e for people who ride bikes. Here is a new kind of gloves. They cost £1,000 a pair. People can talk into them as they make a call. The gloves are k as Talk to the Hand.
They come with a speaker into the thumb (拇指) and a microphone into the little finger that can be c to any mobile phone using Bluetooth. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat
w taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.
Designer Sean Miles combines (使结合) gloves with some p of mobile phones, which are recycled through O2. He designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will a on a show and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If more people want to own them, they will then be produced in the near future.
It is said that the n of unused mobile phones in the UK is about 70 million. Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, asks people to recycle their phones. Mr. Miles hopes his work will make people c recycling. The 41-year-old man said, “I hope that my Talk to the Hand project will get people to think again about the w created by not recycling things. If a few more people pay attention to recycling rather than send them to rubbish, I think this project will have reached i purpose.” Take action. Let’s enjoy a green life.
