What is Earth Clean?

Earth Clean is more than just picking up trash; it goes beyond that,Upcycling collected trash to transform it into new productsThis refers to initiatives that take the global environment as a whole into account.

By participating in this Earth Cleanup—picking up trash piece by piece with work gloves and trash bags in hand—we were able to truly appreciate once again the major problems facing the ocean.

After this valuable experience, we hope that people will gain a deeper understanding of the current state of the ocean and environmental conservation.

Nice to meet you! I'm Abe-chan, and I love experiencing nature and culture.

My life's work is to capture the changing scenery of the four seasons through hiking and photography, and to travel while learning about history and culture.

Currently based in the remote islands of Okinawa—including Ishigaki, Miyako, and Iriomote—I am captivated by the natural beauty of the mangroves, the ocean, and the lush mountains. I spend my time capturing the unique island scenery through photography and learning about the local history and culture.
