  If I could invent a new compound?
  A material that could absorb pollution from the air and convert it into clean energy! ☀️💨
  
  Imagine a coating on buildings that cleans the air just by being there, or a filter that turns car exhaust into electricity. It would be like giving the planet a giant, self-cleaning superpower (other than trees, plants, other stuff the Earth has already come up of course…)!

  If i could invent a chemical compound i would invent a material for construction of roads and pathways in urban areas ect that is porus to rainwater that way flooding would be less likely in those areas as water can still be absorbed and succesfully enter the water table beneath not only that but i would make it an affordable compound to encourage fully its use. 🙂
