Why Arakawa River?
There is the term environmental problem.
But think carefully. Is the environment itself causing the problem?
“People” are the cause of many environmental problems.
The effects of Arakawa Clean-aid are not limited to the Arakawa River basin.
- A program that changes people through “field activities”
- Model project for solving river/marine litter problem targeting Arakawa River with a population of 10 million people
- The point that the marine litter problem is a trans-boundary problem
- A place to experience partnerships with NPOs through activities
Arakawa River Clean-aid (cleaning activity) is a tool to think about things from a broad perspective.
