The Chiba University Environmental ISO Student Committee is developing various environmental activities for the campus by using the "Regibu Fund", which is a charge for plastic shopping bags at the Chiba University Co-op.This time, the original eco-bag designed by the students is on sale at a discount at the Chiba University Co-op from January 2020, 1.
The Chiba University Environmental ISO Student Committee is a student organization that conducts environmental activities mainly by students at Chiba University. Since its inauguration in 2003, about 200 students belong to it every year, and they are engaged in a wide range of activities such as raising awareness of environmental load reduction, environmental education activities for elementary and junior high schools and kindergartens, and making eco-friendly goods.In recent years, with the aim of achieving the SDGs, he has also been working on projects in collaboration with companies, and his activities so far have been highly evaluated and have received various awards.
At Chiba University, at the initiative of the Environmental ISO Student Committee, plastic shopping bags have been charged at the University Cooperative since 2006 and sold for 1 yen each.Currently, about 5 people purchase plastic shopping bags annually at the Chiba University Co-op's retail stores, which are used by more than 100 million people annually, and the average purchase rate is less than 7000%.So far, the profits from this activity have been used as a "Registration Fund" to carry out various environmental activities such as discount sales of original eco-goods, illumination by sunlight, and greening by installing planters.
This time, we will sell an eco bag with a cost of 700 yen at a price of 200 yen, which is easy for students to buy.In addition to the Chiba University Co-op, the eco-bag will be sold at the environmental event "Chiba Winter Fes 2020" to be held on March 3, 1 at the Nishi-Chiba Campus.
