Episode 444- Japan's Ocean Plastic Problem & Beach CleanUp with YouTubers

Plastic pollution and the Ocean Plastics problem is one of the biggest issues in Japan for people like me focused on sustainability. Important topic for #worldoceansday June 8th.

This is episode 444 (4 connects with death in Japan) I talk about Japan's biggest sustainability issue plastic- particularly the ocean plastic pollution problem and include clips from when I joined FFS group for a cleanup in May.

The FFS group organizers include Rachel & Jun, ToriChyan on a beach littered with plastic pollution from the fishing industry and consumer waste. Organized by the fabulous Fukuoka For Sustainability FFS group - we met on a beach cleanup in the biggest city in Kyushu- Japan's south island- called Fukuoka. https://ffs.green/
