NPO iPledge

The world is made of “determination”.
“What will happen to Japan?” “Society can’t change anyways”
In recent years, many of the younger generation have anxiety and are giving up on society. For them to change this view, depends on finding a place to meet people with various values and interests, and a time to notice connections between the current society and future issues.
We will change the younger generation’s sense of “anxiety” and “giving up” to that of “confidence” and “pride” by providing them with opportunities to meet people with a variety of values and interests, and through activities related to “Gomi = waste” that creates a sustainable future.

I♡SKATEBOARD

The problem of illegal harvesting of Borneo Forest has emerged at the new national stadium in Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo in 2020.
At the same time, skateboarding from street culture, which will be the first formal item in Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo in 2020, has an increasing population but no slippery places, and the story has an annoying skater.
So, I ♡ SKATEBOARD will send out messages from the skater culture of Tokyo to the world and at the same time improve the skater’s awareness and redefine the environment and relationship with the local residents in a sustainable way. We approach the skateboard industry in Japan to operate based on the environmental and social impact of the event, not the content.

Environmental Design Laboratory ecotone

We are an environmental NPO/ NGO that develops activities in order to create a sustainable society from the citizens’ point of view. Kyoto, the central area of our activities, is where the Kyoto Protocol was adopted. At the same time, it is where many festivals and events are held throughout the year as one of the world’s top tourist cities. Unfortunately, the reality is that there are a lot of waste being produced at these festivals and events, through items such as disposable containers. In order to resolve such problems, we created reusable plates and cups as a countermeasure towards these environmental issues with the words “reuse” and “reduce” in mind. These reusable items have been distributed and used in many festivals and events so far. By creating new options for our society and with the cooperation beyond sectors in society, we will make movements to solve the problems of local communities and societies.
