When I went on an excursion to make the earth more beautiful than when I was born, as I was told, "Let's go home cleaner than when I came", "I will die with a cleaner earth than when I was born." I think that is what we adults should do. It is our job to provide many with the options to improve society through the act of consumption. ▽ ZERO PC official website https://zeropc.jp/ Akihiro Aoyama, President and CEO of Peopleport Co., Ltd.
