Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 183Participation in "Kinokawa River Mass Cleaning" July 24, 2016 NTT West Wakayama Group
On July 24, 2016 (Sunday), NTT West Wakayama Group participated in the "Kinokawa River Mass Cleaning" activity organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
"Kinokawa River Mass Cleaning" is part of the activities for the "River Protection Month" that is fixed in July every year by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The aim is to actively promote efforts for revitalizing the entire river and maintaining it in good condition, while at the same time raise awareness about river protection as well as proper utilization of rivers.
The cleaning activity was carried out along the stretch from Kinokawa Bridge to Civic Sports Plaza and Narutakigawa River confluence as well as the opposite shore.
A total of 160 participants including employees and their family members took part in the activity and filled the garbage bags with litter that was illegally dumped into Kinokawa River as well as garbage from barbeques and fireworks on the riverbed while they were drenched in sweat under the broiling sun.
Not only did this cleaning activity help to beautify the river, it also provided a good opportunity for the participants to understand the actual environmental problems.
In addition to this river cleaning activity, NTT West Wakayama Group also takes part in the "10,000 People Mass Cleaning" and cleaning of areas around NTT group company buildings. We will continue to engage actively in the promotion of community-based environmental conservation activities.
