It was a grapefruit carton boxes from Florida, but has no citrus picture on them, but Dolphins, Pelikans and even Roses instead. Fuyuki wondered why they do not use grapefruit to show the consumer what is in the box. So, he made wallets out of those cardboards and decided to visit who made this boxes in Vero Beach, Florida. There he encounters peoples pride and touches their heart. This charming and heart-warming story of his journey is the his unique answer to global-warming.
