May 30th is known in Japan as Gomi Zero (ゴミゼロ) Day, or Zero Waste Day. It is a day that encourages people to think about waste reduction and take action to keep their communities clean.

To celebrate Gomi Zero Day, members of the Foreign Language Club gathered at Komatsu Beach for a beach clean-up activity. We were also joined by seven Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) from America, Canada, and Ireland who currently live and work all over Tokushima Prefecture.

Working together, we collected litter from the beach while enjoying spending time together. The event was a great opportunity to think about the environment, practice English, and connect with people from different countries. We would like to thank everyone who participated and helped make the event a success. 

Thank you to all the students, teachers, and ALTs who joined us. We had a wonderful time together and we are proud to have left Komatsu beach a bit cleaner.

5月30日の「ゴミゼロの日」に合わせ、外国語部は小松海岸でビーチクリーン活動を実施しました。徳島県内で勤務するアメリカ、カナダ、アイルランド出身の7名のALTの先生方にも参加していただき、生徒たちと一緒に海岸の清掃を行いました。環境保全について考えるとともに、英語でのコミュニケーションや国際交流を深める貴重な機会となり、参加者全員で協力して小松海岸をよりきれいにすることができました。
