[Melting milk carton] The other day, I came across an experimental site. A lot of milk cartons soaked in a pot. A tree education project promoter who peels it off. If you think about what you're doing, Peel off only the plastic film on the outside of the milk carton. He says he wants to use the inner fibers. Milk cartons soaked in hot water and warmed Silently peel it off and tear it into small pieces. Tear off paper fibers with water Put it in a juice mixer and make it even finer. It's kind of like porridge ... Then, a handful of mushy fibers Expose it to enough water, like using it in a goldfish scoop Scoop it up with poi. After scooping it up, remove the water and shake the poi vigorously. It peels off cleanly from the poi. After that, if you dry it, the round shape of the work is completed. Harden yarn and leaves together, You can also create your own original work.

On October 22, a briefing session for Hokkaido stone townspeople was held at a brewery in Aibetsu Town, and more than 100 visitors visited. Hokkaido stone, a natural crystal of the organic compound benzoperylene, is a rare mineral that fluoresces beautifully when irradiated with ultraviolet rays, and was registered with the International Mineralogical Union in January this year. At this briefing session, which was open to the townspeople for the first time, a member of the research group that discovered Hokkaido stone talked about its rarity and characteristics, and visitors actually confirmed the fluorescence of Hokkaido stone while shining ultraviolet light. Hokkaido stones discovered in Aibetsu Town and Shikaoi Town are currently open to the public at Aibetsu Town Hall. It will be a very valuable exhibition, so please take this opportunity to take a look. ■Exhibition location: Aibetsu Town Hall 1F ■Exhibition Hours: 8:30 a.m. ~ 5:15 p.m. (weekdays only)
