최고의 무료 카지노 게임ng Event at Kamigamo Shrine Midori Ippai Project Activities

On May 26, 2018 (Saturday), NTT West Group held a hollyhock planting event at Kamigamo Shrine.

Due to changes in the natural environment and damage caused by deer that feed on them in recent years, hollyhocks that are used for the Aoi Festival in Kyoto are no longer readily available like before. For this reason, NTT West Group project launched the "Afuhi Project" in 2011.

Under this project, employees of the Group and their family members become "foster parents" by adopting and growing hollyhocks from Kamigamo Shrine at their workplace or home. Hollyhocks grown by the "foster parents" are then multiplied by root division and returned to Kamigamo Shrine. This is the eighth year of the initiative with a total of 77 participants who are employees of NTT West Group and their family members.

At the opening address, Mr. 사사키, Manager of NTT West Kyoto Branch, expressed that it was extremely important not only for NTT West to reduce the company's environmental load, but also to engage actively in such hollyhock growing activities and other biodiversity conservation initiatives from the viewpoint of SDGs*. This was followed by a speech from Mr. Tanaka, Chief Priest of Kamigamo Shrine, who gave an interesting introduction to the history of the shrine and Aoi Festival. Also, participants visited the main shrine that is usually out of bounds to the public and had the opportunity to experience the sense of magnificence.

At the planting event, all the participants carefully planted the hollyhocks grown by the NTT West Group employees under the guidance of members from the Afuhi Project. A total of 839 hollyhock plants were returned to the shrine this year, which were 300 more than the previous year.
Besides planting, participants also took part in weeding as well as gathering of fallen leaves for use as leaf mold.

The hollyhock planting event concluded with a closing address by Mr. 이와이, Head of Environmental Management Promotion Office at NTT West.

NTT West Group will continue to engage in activities to protect the global environment with the hope that this could help to develop awareness toward the global environment among more people.

We would like to thank everyone at Kamigamo Shrine, Afuhi Project as well as all the participants for their support.

*SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are a set of international goals for the period from 2016 to 2030 which were adopted at the UN Summit in September 2015. These are described in the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development."
