Eco-Brolly

Shiu Yuk Yuen has a yen for the environment, with the Eco Brolly umbrella design requiring the use of discarded newspapers as the canopy for your umbrella skeleton. Sounds good and all, but what happens when you don’t have a roll of newspaper nearby? Surely you aren’t going to step out into the rain and get all wet, are you? Second thing is, even if it is really sunny, a normal newspaper won’t be able to really shield you from harmful UV rays and all.
