actually what the interesting is that by

actually what the interesting is that by doing all this we actually impacted the

doing all this we actually impacted the

doing all this we actually impacted the habit of consumption of the people not

habit of consumption of the people not

habit of consumption of the people not everyone but whenever they think about

everyone but whenever they think about

everyone but whenever they think about like what they need to do after this

like what they need to do after this

like what they need to do after this then that’s the time they actually

then that’s the time they actually

then that’s the time they actually change the habit of what they buy then

change the habit of what they buy then

change the habit of what they buy then maybe you think it’s crazy but if you

maybe you think it’s crazy but if you

maybe you think it’s crazy but if you actually see the impact of not only the

actually see the impact of not only the

actually see the impact of not only the environmental side but also they cannot

environmental side but also they cannot

environmental side but also they cannot excite you may follow my choice so in

excite you may follow my choice so in

excite you may follow my choice so in each of the bins we have at the

each of the bins we have at the

each of the bins we have at the collection center we have this side

collection center we have this side

collection center we have this side showing up this is saying how the

showing up this is saying how the

showing up this is saying how the million cans so you need to put the

million cans so you need to put the

million cans so you need to put the container visiting from the best album

container visiting from the best album

container visiting from the best album cans but not only that we also have to

cans but not only that we also have to

cans but not only that we also have to find where it goes it goes to toxicity

find where it goes it goes to toxicity

find where it goes it goes to toxicity and then what it will be so it’s get

and then what it will be so it’s get

and then what it will be so it’s get recycled again in German

recycled again in German

recycled again in German and how much it costs or earns to the

and how much it costs or earns to the

and how much it costs or earns to the community so in 2015 it actually earned

community so in 2015 it actually earned

community so in 2015 it actually earned 155cm

155cm

155cm per kilogram to the car by recycling now

per kilogram to the car by recycling now

per kilogram to the car by recycling now meaning comes right then it’s about

meaning comes right then it’s about

meaning comes right then it’s about overtime but if you actually bring in

overtime but if you actually bring in

overtime but if you actually bring in this concept to our daily life so for

this concept to our daily life so for

this concept to our daily life so for some poor if you buy whatever the liquid

some poor if you buy whatever the liquid

some poor if you buy whatever the liquid in a bottle which is a plastic covered

in a bottle which is a plastic covered

in a bottle which is a plastic covered in another plastic and then sealed

in another plastic and then sealed

in another plastic and then sealed plastic stickers and bring it back in a

plastic stickers and bring it back in a

plastic stickers and bring it back in a plastic bag you need only deleted inside

plastic bag you need only deleted inside

plastic bag you need only deleted inside but you are paying for all this plastic

but you are paying for all this plastic

but you are paying for all this plastic bottle plastic package in plastic bag

bottle plastic package in plastic bag

bottle plastic package in plastic bag and everything then not only that most

and everything then not only that most

and everything then not only that most of our Japanese products also includes

of our Japanese products also includes

of our Japanese products also includes the packaging recycling cost under the

the packaging recycling cost under the

the packaging recycling cost under the expanded producer responsibility in the

expanded producer responsibility in the

expanded producer responsibility in the product price so you’re also paying for

product price so you’re also paying for

product price so you’re also paying for that and to recycle recycle the plastic

that and to recycle recycle the plastic

that and to recycle recycle the plastic in our tongue for the expanded producer

in our tongue for the expanded producer

in our tongue for the expanded producer responsibility regulation its cost 0.45

responsibility regulation its cost 0.45

responsibility regulation its cost 0.45 yen per kilogram so it’s cost and then

yen per kilogram so it’s cost and then

yen per kilogram so it’s cost and then what it means is that if the process

what it means is that if the process

what it means is that if the process cost to do the recycling it means it

cost to do the recycling it means it

cost to do the recycling it means it needs more energy and then it will leave

needs more energy and then it will leave

needs more energy and then it will leave more impact for the environment so again

more impact for the environment so again

more impact for the environment so again my question is how much I actually
