Respect for the bark

The bark has a vast surface area due to its complex structure. If you add up the surface area of all the bark on Earth, it would be equal to the land area of the Earth. In tribute to the bark that absorbs methane, fixes nitrogen, dissolves sap in rainwater, and supports many living things,

Respect for the animal migration

Unlike air or sea, when animals travel long distances on land, they need to move completely on their own, without relying on wind or ocean currents. This is a tribute to the great animal migrations that migrate in large groups over harsh long distances, circulating nutrients and enriching ecosystems through their migration.

Respect for electricity

Electricity appears everywhere. Bioelectricity that supports life, atmospheric electricity that surrounds the Earth, the ionosphere, the lightning that connects them, telluric currents that flow through the ground, huge currents in geospace, huge currents in the Earth's core, etc. There are even living organisms that generate their own electricity. In homage to electricity, the source of all life.

Respect for aerosols

Aerosols are tiny particles of solids and liquids dispersed in air.

Respect for the ground

We don't usually see the underground, but it seems that there exists a forest of living organisms there, with many times more organisms than there are on the surface of the earth. We pay tribute to the underground, which cultivates its own ecosystem in the absence of light, produces resources, stores many times the amount of water in the ocean, and carries out a grand cycle through crustal movements.

Respect for the soil

Soil nurtures many living organisms. It is soft and nutritious, containing a mixture of minerals, organic matter, and microorganisms, as well as air and water. It is so precious that it takes 100 years to build up 1 cm of soil. In tribute to the soil, which is said to be non-renewable but supports many forms of life,
