Clean up around Campus

Clean up at Shimohama Beach, Akita city

Usually, more than half of all members are international students. However, most members went back to their home countries because of COVID-19, and 10 full-time students run the club now. Although we cannot meet at campus, we continue our projects as usual by using zoom!

Here are our current projects in the fall semester 2020!
We are also thinking of setting events’ schedules on time when previous international students can come! (Because they request so!!)

• ?Ecosia Project: increase awareness of the internet browser which can donate tree planting by using
• ?Pirika Project: Using Pirika app to track trash location in Akita
• ?Vegan Party Second
• ?Invite guest speaker and hold a lecture

You don’t need to care about your background in environmental actions!
