Examples of environmental activities in the region

Tsurumi Elementary School 6th grade 1st group has been transmitting the charm and issues of Tsurumi River during a comprehensive study time with the aim of achieving a sustainable Tsurumi River.

A lot of garbage goes down the river from school to the mouth of the river. However, when I arrived at the Tsurumi River Tidal Flat (commonly known as shell beach) at the mouth of the river, there were surprisingly many creatures. He doubts why there are many creatures, connects with the people of the Tsurumi River basin networking, the water quality is clean, there are many endangered eels and medakas, and Ayu swims. I was told about the richness of things.

And I learned that the garbage of the river flowed from the town by wind and rain.

I want to protect the earth! I want to make the Tsurumi River a more beautiful river! To that end, I want to reduce the amount of garbage in the town! With that in mind, I planned a vinesui (Tsurumi River Aquarium). In order to act not only thinking but also acting, we carried out garbage collection in the town. At first, those who were not very enthusiastic about picking up garbage became fun when they tried it, and now they began to pick up garbage when they went to and from school or after school in the park. When I tried with the feeling of "Let's try it first!", I realized that my heart would follow later.

I learned that there are few visitors in their teens and twenties in the past, so I thought about disseminating information on SNS. At that time, I met a musician Akeboshi. He suggested, "Would you like to record the garbage you picked up as a musical instrument, make it into music, and send it out in words?" I realized that if I communicated my thoughts and wishes and worked together while trying to connect with people, I would approach solving problems.

I want to make the Tsurumi River a beautiful river! I want to reduce the amount of garbage in the town! This problem cannot be solved by ourselves. It is important to increase and continue the number of people who sympathize with the activities. That's why we launched the Tsurumi STG’s Lab. Anyone can participate in the community, and we plan to hold a garbage collection and ecological survey of tidal flats on the spring equinox in March every year. From now on, I would like to create the future Tsurumi River with you.
