東濱孝明 : 未来の海を守るために私たちができること
2050年問題。約30年後、海洋中のプラスチック重量が海に生息する魚の総重量を上回るとされている。
それでも多くの人はこの問題に対して無関心で当事者意識がない。
今の若者にとって2050年は自分の子や孫が生きる未来。
自分のためだけではなく、未来を生きる子供たちのために私たちは無関心をやめ、行動を起こし綺麗な海を残さなければならない。
東濱孝明は、綺麗な海を残すために国内初の海の清掃会社を立ち上げ、海を綺麗にし続けてきた。
なぜ彼は清掃会社を立ち上げたのか、そこにある思いとはなにか。
HIGASHIHAMA Takaaki : What can be done to protect the oceans of the future
The 2050 Problem. It is estimated that in about 30 years, the weight of plastic in the ocean will exceed the total weight of fish in the ocean.
Yet many people are indifferent to this problem and have no sense of being a party to it. For today's youth, 2050 is the future in which their children and grandchildren will live.
We must stop being indifferent and take action to leave a clean ocean not only for ourselves but also for our children who will live in the future.
HIGASHIHAMA Takaaki has been cleaning up the oceans by starting Japan's first ocean-cleaning company to preserve the clean oceans.
Why did he start the cleaning company and what is his thought behind it?
