In response to this cleaning activity,We have received feedback from participants such as:

• It was hard to get up early on Sunday morning, but it ended early so I had a productive Sunday.
• Local children and junior high school students also participated this time, and it was good to see the extent of the activities.
• Even in places that looked beautiful at first glance, there were garbage and cigarette litter hidden in the bushes, so I felt that these steady activities led to the creation of a beautiful city.
• The members of the Kamoi Station Neighborhood Development Study Group talked to me in a friendly manner, and I was able to come into contact with the local people through garbage collection and feel that I have become a member of the community.

We will continue to value our connection to the community and continue to contribute to creating a clean, litter-free city every month.
