Midori Ippai Project Activities LINE 281Participation in "Love Earth Cleanup 2018" as Part of the "Clean Environment Mission" June 10, 2018 NTT West Fukuoka Group
On June 10, 2018 (Sunday), NTT West Fukuoka Group took part in the "Love Earth Cleanup 2018" event that was jointly held by the residents, private sector and government bodies as part of the "Clean Environment Mission" to beautify the local environment.
An endeavor to beautify the surroundings of the local region and protect the natural environment and at the same time a social action program to contribute to the local community, this year marks the 30th round of the activity which has been ongoing since 1989 at the Shikanoshima Beach.
Weather was cloudy on the day of the event with a total of 654 participants who are Fukuoka Group employees and their family members as well as retired employees. At the opening address, Chairman of the Local Government Association of Shikanoshima expressed his gratitude for our long years of engagement in the cleaning activity.
Participants collected and separated litter such as empty cans, glass bottles and plastic bottles on the beach as well as the large quantities of ropes and seaweed that were washed ashore. Also, thanks to the support provided by the trailer team formed by the newly-recruited employees to collect the bags of trash, the beach is now clean again.
Besides attracting beach-goers in summer, Shikanoshima Beach is also a popular spot for sightseeing and driving trips with many visitors from different parts of Japan throughout the year. It was also a meaningful day that allowed the participants to think about "protection of the natural environment" through the cleaning activity.
We hope our effort will help visitors to Shikanoshima to enjoy the beautiful scenery here.
NTT West Fukuoka Group will continue to engage in community-based activities to protect the natural environment.
