Initiatives for the preservation of biodiversity

Planting in Mt. Fuji

We participated in the Forestation Convention at the Gotenbaguchi, Mount Fuji, which is hosted by the Mount Fuji National Trust (NPO).This activity is intended to prevent, by means of greening, the collapse of the southeast foot of Mt. Fuji, which became a vast gravel land because of an eruption in the Hoei era.

Eliminating illegal dumping of waste

We participated in Shizuoka Industrial Waste Association's patrolling and on-street campaigns for the prevention of illegal dumping, and informed the public about the need to eliminate the illegal dumping of waste and the telephone number to report any such dumping to.

VOICE

As a member of the Shizuoka Prefecture Industrial Waste Disposal Association, we have been participating in the illegal dumping monitoring patrol and illegal dumping elimination street campaign to align with the "Illegal Dumping Elimination Month" in December. We called for illegal dumping elimination to passersby in five major stations in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Illegal dumping of waste is a crime that threatens our health and safety, and also damages the beautiful natural environment.
While obvious waste items such as furniture and automotive parts were identified, the most noticeable ones were household goods. Unfortunately, these household goods seem to be dumped due to the difficulties as an easy solution in disposal in the process of moving. We recognize that it is necessary to improve the awareness of each person towards waste to establish a sustainable society and contribute to the maintenance of the natural environment.

Cleaning and releasing dwarf rill trout into tributaries of the Kano River system

We participated in river cleaning (Kisegawa River) and dwarf rill trout release (Momozawa River) by Kano River System Quality Preservation Council.

River cleaning in the Koza district

We conducted patrols between the Kamigo Bridge and the Kubota Bridge of the Mekujiri River, a tributary of the Sagami River, collecting all the garbage we found along the way.

Contribution to the solutions of miro-plastics problems

Participation in the toothbrush recycling program

Since FY2019, we have been collecting used household toothbrushes. The collected toothbrushes are recycled for new plastic products such as flowerpots without being sent for land fill or to an incinerator plant. The credit points that are given according to the weight of the toothbrushes collected are donated for education support and community support.

Participation in the “Kanagawa Zero Plastics Declaration”

Since agreeing with the “Kanagawa Zero Plastics Declaration”, which the Kanagawa Prefecture is engaged in, we promote the reduction of disposable plastics, sorting and collection of plastics waste, and cleaning activities.
