They may look like a canvas of cotton candy, but these rainbow nets are actually a brilliant form of pest control.

Stretched over crops, the kaleidoscope of colors confuses insects like aphids and whiteflies, scrambling their ability to locate the plants underneath. Some farmers have cut pesticide use by 25‑50% without losing yields.

The nets also act as shields against harsh sun, heavy rain, and wind, regulating humidity and reducing plant stress. It's a simple, sustainable trick that lets farmers protect harvests without dousing them in chemicals.

Practical science, painted in every color of the spectrum. 🧑‍🌾🌈

This is how the Japanese Men’s team left the dressing room after their win at the World Cup in 2022 👏🏾

In 2018, they did the same thing and left a thank you note for the hosts in 3 languages.

On top of this... photo's emerged of large groups of Japanese fans staying behind after the game to clean all of the stands.

This isn't just a clean dressing room, it's a clear demonstration of values.

It's a statement about respect, gratitude and attention to detail.

The small things are the biggest indicator of the big things - your values.

Huge respect for the Japanese national team and their wonderful culture, values and people.
