NJS Autumn Beach Clean

2021年10月31日、江ノ島でビーチクリーニングイベントが行われました。

Thank you to all 21 volunteers who spent their Sunday picking up plastic debris and other waste along the beach surrounding Enoshima. It was a lot of fun meeting up with people in person, it was social, it was nice to talk, and we felt we spent our time together outdoors at the lovely Enoshima doing something important for the environment and we hope to do it again, with even a larger group in the future!

先週日曜日に江ノ島周辺の浜辺でプラスチックなどのゴミ拾いをしてくださった21人のボランティアの皆さま、ありがとうございました。皆さまと直接お会いしてお話しするのはとても楽しく、江ノ島の素晴らしい自然の中で、ともに環境にとって重要なことをして過ごせたと思います。

そして将来的にはもっと大人数でゴミ拾いをしたいですね。
