A brief description of the campaign(s):
HUISA, Hokkaido University International Students Association, leads garbage management project at Hokkaido University Festival every year. HUISA is a voluntary organization of international students, but Japanese students takes part in the project as well.
Before the project, the amount of garbage thrown out of the University Festival, especially by visitors to food booths, was huge, but was not controlled. Furthermore crows pecked the garbage to scatter food across the street.
The project team collects and sorts garbage into clean plastics, clean paper cups and trays, cans, PET bottles, chopsticks, and others, and also urged visitors to do the same.
