Main activities
- "Three Old Men: Plastic Garbage Busters"
Which ocean has the most plastic waste?
To answer children's questions, three old men are walking 435.09 kilometers of the coastline of Kanagawa Prefecture picking up trash.
There is a lot of plastic waste on every beach, and we are also conducting research to determine what type of waste is most prevalent. - "Operation Microplastic Eradication"
Actual microplastic particles were collected from Shonan Beach and other locations.
We will think about how to turn microplastics into microplastics and practice ways to eliminate and reuse microplastics.
