addition, he was in contact with indigenous tribes, organizations and dysfunctional
groups. Because of all these experiences, his work focused on problems associated
with human factors. In 1943, Fresco founded the Revell Plastics Company and in

with money. Its goal is to satisfy human needs, not get money.

I think it´s a logical project because natural resources are the basis for the life of every

nature, it could be possible.
