W: I recently read that in ten years we'll be wearing clothes that change with the weather. So when it's cold, our clothes will warm up, and when it's hot, our clothes will cool off. M: Oh, very funny! So we'll be wearing huge clothes with built-in air conditioners and heaters. W: I'm being serious!

The treated fibers move back and forth between two solid shapes. M: I don't understand. What kind of shapes do they change into？ W: When the weather gets warmer, the crystals take on cube shapes and absorb heat. When the weather gets cooler, the crystals become cooler and come back to their original structure. M: That's truly unbelievable.

Do you like seeing trash all over the ground？ M: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions？ W: Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cot down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live. M: So, how can people recycle paper, I mean, everyday？ W: Well, for example, when I was in the office, I used to save the newspapers so that I could collect things made out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away.
