Ethylene gas is used to control the maturity of fruits in commercial spaces but cannot be found to order online on mainstream sites from what I've seen. A form of application for the knowledge of fruit-ethylene gas interactions would be a good point to close the topic on.

One goal of such a thing could be to raise awareness on fruit storage, to bring tangible evidence of fruit interaction to people and encourage positive fruit storage habits. Things such as which fruits to keep together and apart for better ripening or longer preservation. This knowledge of organizing fruits (and vegetables) for preferable outcomes seems limited to the dedicated gardening communities by lack of interest elsewhere but could definitely come in handy for more people.

I would think that through photographic representation accompanied by short texts of these ethylene fruit interactions the information would catch more interest. For every person who actively preserves their foods a little bit better there is one less food item that will be thrown out because it looks a little bit overly-ripe.
