"Sustainable" Okinawa trip that is environmentally friendly!

The blue sea is impressive, but it has been damaged by sea level rise due to weather warming, rising water temperature, and marine pollution. Coral reefs where creatures gather also become rich fish fields and natural breakwaters, and are very important to purify water quality. Activities to transplant baby corals for corals that protect the marine ecosystem are being carried out throughout Okinawa Prefecture beyond the boundaries of public-private science.

Take a break while strolling around Kokusai Dori Street, which is "35COFFEE". 35 hibiscusties made with weathered coral and awamori distilled lees placed in a roasting kiln and roasted tea leaves. Since 2009, 3.5% of the sales have been used for coral regeneration activities (baby coral transplantation), and hibiscusties and coffee born from Okinawa coral protect the corals, and the Tetrabag type is perfect for your own use and souvenirs!

Using the recording and observation mode, you can record creatures and plants found in Okinawa, and deepen your understanding of the observed creatures! And there is no doubt that you will want to know more about Okinawa! Could you be a natural expert? Please try downloading it.

H&S, a hamburger shop with two stores in Onna Village on Okinawa Island, practices diver city-x plastic free! By respecting culture, age, race, and gender, making use of all personalities to respect each other's identity, we create a comfortable workplace and improve our services, which leads to customer comfort. We are considering marine pollution, such as choosing plastic-free materials for the materials used in stores, and we are focusing on efforts to reduce plastic waste by eco-using takeout containers. 

At the Ryukyu Glass Village in Itoman City in the southern part of Motojima, we have teamed up with a recycling company Takunan Shoji in the prefecture to crush the window glass of a scrapped car and use it as a raw material to transform it into glass tableware. I am.

Products born by bringing new life to the window glass of scrapped cars are called "mado", and the chic texture that finishes in two shades different depending on the position of the glass used is gaining popularity as the charm of the new Ryukyu glass .

In addition, at the Glass Freedom Laboratory, which conveys the appeal of Ryukyu glass to children, you can learn panels, videos, and manufacturing techniques, touch tools to learn and experience them. Upcycling familiar things is unique to Ryukyu glass, which was born from the reuse of resources after the war. I would like to pay attention to our efforts to pass on that value to the next generation.
