Little by little we begin to understand what we can do to protect our earth, our animals, and nature. Here we present reports about the many activities that are held in schools all over Japan. Let's take a brief look at what other partners we have and what activities they are taking part in.

What are you doing at your school to protect our earth, animals, and nature?
If all of us do even just a little bit, those actions will add up, and sooner or later we'll make a giant impact to our community. As we think together and let's act!
