Eco Challenge 2021

This event has been closed. Thank you very much for your application.
At present, the increasing burden on the environment due to global warming and climate change has become a problem.
As a first step toward solving problems, we started the “Nishiku Eco Challenge” with the hope that it will encourage us to engage in practical environmentally conscious actions.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our way of life has changed dramatically.
For future generations, there is a need for initiatives that lead to sustainable “new everyday life” from the perspective of the SDGs, where no one is left behind.
Why don't you take on a new approach now?
You will also win a wonderful prize by lottery. Please join us.
