The eye-seeds
The fatty acid polyester that makes the eye-seeds naturally divides into water and Carbon dioxide.
While involved in recovery work at the disaster site, I was often forced to stop the work as fine dust caused my eyes to water. Although anti-pollen glasses made the situation a little better, the problem was that there was no water for wiping the dust off the glasses. This glass can protect your eyes from fine dust because they stick fast to your skin. Further, as this glass is fully integrated into your skin as if it was eye makeup, you can enjoy it as fashionable item. As the glass without complicated mechanism is lightweight and flexible, it is not fragile. After you finish using it, leave it in public space. Biodegradable resin as a material of the glass will be spontaneously degraded to water and carbon dioxide to activate dormant plant seeds in the glass. Microorganisms in soil degrade organic materials to create nutrients, which are reabsorbed and circulated by plants. Strongly hoping for the recovery and spread the glass in the area, we can create peaceful atmosphere in cities
