  ​On Saturday, December 4th, a holiday market was held at the center, a shelter and shelter for animals. 

  I visited the market with great interest as it is a market held here where there are warm people who love and care for animals and nature.  

  With luck, I can meet Nebula, european barn owl there.   

  ​If you look at the shape on the owl's wing, it looks like a nebula.

  I bought a doll and sponsorship for this animal, a nature conservation centre.

  A company called Pupfish sustainability solutions of the market held an event to make Christmas tree ornaments by stamping the sliced wood pieces as shown below. The event was free and the staff were all friendly and professional. If you give away discarded electrical and electronic machines such as computers, laptops, and cell phones to this company, they will be recycled in an environmentally friendly way.

  It was impressive to see how companies and individuals who love nature and care for the environment protect the environment with various ideas. 

In this case, I think art can provide various types of ideas.
