I have participated in the “Sea Forest Forestry Activity” sponsored by Mitsubishi Electric!
The “Sea Forest” is a place where trees and other trees are planted in places where garbage and soil are alternately reclaimed. It is also the venue for next year’s Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Currently, it is not possible to enter freely, and it seems that the park will open after the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Since it was a competition venue, I couldn’t take pictures of the scenery.
A sea forest where many trees have already been planted. This time, I removed the undergrowth and trimmed the branches. At first, I could only see the trees along the road, but after the work, I could see the trees in the back.
The tree that was growing at the place where I worked is Sudajii. There were blue swallowtails flying around. After the work, we took a walk in the park, and there were birds eating cherries of the Oshima cherry. There are a lot of insects and animals on the artificially created island…! I wonder how I got here… Apple mint, kudzu, butterbur and hexagonal were also growing.
Together with everyone I worked with, I made a kaleidoscope of things growing in the park. The view of Tokyo from the hill is also beautiful. “Sea Forest” fun! I’m looking forward to the Olympic and Paralympic Games and the opening of the park.

On Sunday, March 24th, “Children’s Eco Club National Festival 2019 – Shine: Future Earth Ranger” was held at the National Olympics Memorial Youth Center!
We, the youth, also participated as a support for the children.
The youth members who participated this time were:
7 people. I served as the moderator as in the previous year.
This time, the moderator was a total of four people, including youth Mitchin and high school students of the Reverse River Children’s Eco Club.
The children, who were quiet at first, seemed to be relieved of their tension when they started playing games during the exchange time, and they had a great time. It looked like fun.
At the eco-activity session, I was impressed by the way they listened carefully to the presentations of the other clubs and asked questions. The sessions were longer than last year, so I think I was able to hear more club announcements.
In the past, I have often worked with university students, but this time I worked with high school students. They were very supportive of me for actively giving their opinions. Thank you!
More youth than the previous year supported us in guiding and reception. It was a pleasure to meet you! Let’s work together again!!
Hi! It’s MHK_Studio. I attended Junior Eco-club National Festival at Yoyogi. The members of Junior Eco-Clubs did unbelievably good performance! I almost forgot that they were elementary schoolers. The posters were detailed, and their presentations were well-structured.
Also, many companies presented what they were doing to achieve SDGs. Some companies were very popular, and some were those I didn’t know what they were doing. But all of them were trying their best to lessen the impact on environment.
I thought this festival did a really good job not only to let children think and act for environment, but also give everyone attended to have passion to keep the Earth healthy.
Hello, Everyone! It’s MHK_Studio! Today, I attended the preparation for Junior Eco-Club National Festival next day. I met the staffs of Junior Eco-Club for the first time. They were so kind, and worked very hard.
I did stage setting and putting up posters that children made. The posters were unbelievably good! I can’t wait till tomorrow to listen to the presentation!
It’s Yukki.
We visited the National Youth Environmental Activity Presentation Contest.
I wonder if the Youth Committee member Michin reported to COP21 at the first meeting? This was the first time I went to see it.
Straws and PET bottles were not allowed, printed materials were minimal, and only pamphlets with participating schools were listed, making it eco-friendly among the environment-related events I have participated in so far. Every time I go to an environmental event, I am given a large number of pamphlets (what is eco…) That’s what I was thinking.
High school students from 16 schools from all over the country who were selected through regional competitions gave presentations. I was particularly interested in the story of the honeybee and the story of Ramsar. Most of them seemed to be talking in line with the SDGs.
All of the schools are good at presenting. Listening to their activities, I was impressed by their ability and trust to involve the community. It was wonderful to have the ability to respond flexibly while noticing problems and making predictions.
It was very good, so I didn’t want it to be completed just by outputting the activity. Since you have the footwork to give presentations overseas and go to fieldwork, I thought it would be nice to exchange contact information with the people on the team who were making the presentations you were interested in, and even if you couldn’t meet them, you should keep in touch and share your opinions. They are doing something good for the environment and the community in which they are working, so I felt that I would like them to cooperate beyond the boundaries of the participating schools and take on various challenges.
Hello! I’m MHK_Studio, a member of Youth Econet committee.
This time, Youth Econet established our homepage! We are aiming to get connection between youths, and create a huge ecological flow. I will support this from behind… I need more and more environmental groups to join and help us! More heads needed to make it happen…
To join us, all you have to do is to reach us on SNS page such as Facebook or Twitter, and Like or follow us! That’s it. OMG, how easy is it!? What you can do with us is PR of your environmental activities, learning others’ activities, and in the future, establishing connection through Youth Econet.
Youth Econet is newly made group. We need help from all the people involved in this. Let’s do this.
