<Message from the director>
I wish all products in the supermarket would be environmentally friendly. This would make things a lot less confusing. Why can I even choose toilet-paper made out of ancient forest wood pulp? The answer is money, of course. I hope our common sense and respect for nature will win the battle with making money eventually.
