Recently, there has been an active movement to reduce plastic waste. There are increasing opportunities for us to encounter such changes in our daily lives. Reducing plastic waste is not only aimed at fighting climate change. The problem of marine plastic waste, which is not properly disposed of and ends up in our oceans and rivers, has been attracting attention around the world as a problem that is damaging the environment and destroying ecosystems.
What can each of us do to help solve this problem? In this event, we will search for solutions together with practitioners who are working to solve it.
◆Exhibit Structure
