Interest

Modern people tend to use products in fast cycle for various reasons, and it cause an eccesive consumption of resource and energy. This is a big problem for us.
But I think if the citizens (users) get a basic knowledge about a property of some products or materials and techniques for handling them, it will lead to more effective resource usage.
So I want to make the space and the content that they can study them.
