◯ Who’s the organiser, Misa?
- Sustainability writer
- This event's thumbnail is my hometown. People used to pick seaweeds and chase small crabs there. However, to show the emperor our town is so developed or something, people covered the rocky area with concrete. Otherside of the port is occupied by iron and fossil factories, which is why people there have been suffering from diseases, including me. Environmental issues do affect human health and ecosystems. This is why I write and throw nature-conscious events. Let's meet and exchange opinions!
