(119) Starting a Trash collection group and Upcycling goals JinJapan Podcast 20220316

Last month I started my own trash collection group inside my Address nomad community. We had a great start with are Hashtag activities, just picking up one piece of trash a day #今日の一ゴミ as even with Conor still around its not an excuse to not clean up the place we live in. We are also now planning an event. With the first one going to be in Syoudo Island 小豆島 next month

I also took part in a great trash collection group in Tokyo. Tokyo river friends is an international group that meets up every two weeks to clean up the rivers of Tokyo. For their events check out their meet.com page and also they have a very active Instagram. You will be surprised what they find

In the second part of today's episode, I talk more about upcycling activities. Taking the collected trash and turning that into valuable items. One great company that's doing this is Bouy (ブイ) which creates very nice recycled trash washed up on beaches. You can even send your own collected trash to them and they will pay you per KG and it's more than the price of steel and scrap metal. So it's a great chance to make some money while making Japan beaches much cleaning

But they're not just plastic trash, there is also a lot of Wood trash washed up on Japanese beaches. As Taifuu 台風 come and reck the Japanese coastline learning to lots of wash up natural trash. Lucky my company's boss's brother is now seeing this as a business change and started to great Japanese cultural drums from the washed-up drip wood. SHowing that this trash is not trash but a valuable resource
