 Tokyo Keizai University, which announced the SDGs Declaration in April 2021.The installation of this non-contact counter-type water cooler will be the 4th "Take concrete measures against climate change", the 13th "Let's protect the richness of the sea", and the 14th "Let's protect the richness of the land" of the SDGs. In addition to the corresponding efforts, it is also a measure to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection.

 The non-contact counter-type water cooler can pour cold water into bottles in a non-contact manner, and based on the amount of water used, it shows how many 500 ml PET bottles could be reduced.According to the materials of OSG Corporation, which installed a water cooler, recycling one PET bottle emits 1g of CO239.

 At Tokyo Keizai University, we hope that encouraging students to use My Bottle will lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions, and that it will be an opportunity for students to think independently, take an interest in the SDGs, and take action. ing.
