How to use a banana in seven unexpected ways

1) Who are these guys?
The short guy is the owner of the house, and the tall guy is his friend. Perhaps they drank too much and fell asleep without consciousness, judging from lots of empty bottles being in a mess.

2) What happened last night?
A big party was held in the short guy's house the previous night, judging from the unorganized room as well as the calender hung on the wall.

3) What will happen at 12:30 pm today?
The short guy's parents will visit him, judging from him hurrying to clean the room up just after waking up belatedly, as well as the calender hung on the wall.

4) What are seven unexpected uses for bananas?
They are polishing shoes, removing dust and dirt from leaves, polishing tables, healing mosquito bites, eracing ink stain, removing scratches from CDs, and getting rid of fruit flies.

5) Why do you think the tall guy knows so much about bananas?
He is an environmentalist or a botanist, who researches how to recycle stuffs that are otherwise to be thrown away. That's why he has a plenty of knowledge about bananas, I guess.


Even though this film is much shorter than what we watched previously, it seems to me that it tells us a strong message we should carefully think about; the importance of recycling. We humans are apt to throw the stuffs away after the use finishing. This film, however, makes us realize how important it is to recycle them. The supplies are limited, not infinite. There are still some areas where food supplies do not arrive. Moreover, many people are suffering from diseases due to the poverty in much of the developing countries. We should think about poverty more seriously, and take actions in order to make the world a better place for everyone.
