Join TEAM CLEAN BLUE on your travels and let’s clean Tsuruga beach. Discover various things that have washed ashore and let’s clean the planet together.
We will make small items such as key holders and accessories by reusing plastic garbage that we pick up on the beach.
▶︎Garbage patches formed by ocean currents
Marine debris, also known as marine litter, is human-created waste that has deliberately or accidentally been released in a sea or ocean. It is said that the garbage generated in our cities accounts for 80% of marine litter, and that the total amount of marine litter floating in the world’s oceans has reached approximately 150 million tons.
▶︎Ocean’s Plastic Problem
Will there be more garbage than fish by 2050?!
Debris made of artificial materials such as plastic are difficult to decompose, and can take tens to hundreds of years to return to nature. Drifting garbage has become a serious global problem that damages marine life and affects ecosystems. There is also concern that the discharged garbage will eventually turn into microplastics and return to our bodies through the food chain.
Here are some simple steps we can take today
●Bring your own water bottle
●Do not buy over-packaged products
●Use an eco-bag
●Use things carefully for a long time
●Use stores that sell by weight
●Participate in beach cleanups
★Let’s be conscious of how to reduce garbage in our daily lives!
You will receive two certificates of your experience: an original
AR photo certificate that you can take with your smartphone, and
an artistic paper certificate that you can make by pasting the plastic
you picked up on the beach.
