Now,Let’s
see a vedio about one of new meterials
Summary

As the vedio says , we can pratically gurantee that yesterday’s packaging is going to be here in 10000 years and what we want to gurantee is ,in 10000years, our descendents,our children’s children will be living happily and in harmony with the healthy earth.
