By incentivizing boaters with the promise of a private floating garden, this community-based call to action automatically strategizes and targets the source of water pollution and converts it into the solution. This collectively improves the quality of this shared water ecosystem whilst promoting the growth of native plants, insects and birds.
Continue readingThe industry's first use of this infinitely reflective photoelectric technology with artistic characteristics. When the light is turned on not only the color has changed but also can see the 3D three-dimensional light effect so the phone has science fiction properties. It is also interactive, making it possible for users to see text message alerts without opening the screen. The use of this technology allows the originally slim phone to present a 3D visual experience of light.
