Mama-zemi (Hamamatsu Mothers' Seminar)
The MIDAC Group has been a member of the Hamamatsu Mothers' Seminar since 2018. During the 3rd Garbage Truck Wrapping Project held in October 2021, the participating mothers, fathers, and children decorated a packer car with very fun and cute images of sea creatures that they made! Recently the number of events has decreased due to the impact of COVID-19, and some events have been held online, but in the future we would like to continue to focus on holding on-site events while also taking into consideration the situation with COVID-19.
Held the MIDAC Grand Lottery
The annual MIDAC Festival in FY2021 was also postponed due to the impact of COVID-19, but we held the MIDAC Grand Lottery. We distributed flyers to people living near our head office in Hamamatsu City, received postcards from numerous individuals, and will send prizes to the winners.
Participation in Operation Wel-Kame (Sea Turtle) Cleanup
Operation Wel-Kame (Sea Turtle) Cleanup, organized by the Hamamatsu City Environment Department, is an event to clean up the coast to welcome loggerhead sea turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs.
It is held every year on the second Sunday in May, and this year marks the 32nd time the event has been held. This year, 91 of our executives and employees and their family members participated in this activity as volunteers.
Hamamatsu Goto Coast Cleanup
We support Shizuoka Prefecture's 6R Prefectural Citizens Campaign.*
As a part of this movement, on Saturday, October 2, 2021, we held a cleanup activity at Hamamatsu Goto Beach.
A significant amount of plastic had fallen onto the beach, and we were able to collect a total of 60 kg of waste, including recyclable waste.
After collecting it, the participants divided it up and sorted the garbage.
After the cleaning, the beach was clean with no litter as far as the eye could see, and, in order to keep the beach in this state, we would like to continue cleanup activities on a regular basis.
*6R Citizen's Movement: To protect the oceans, each prefectural citizen starts with activities that they can do.
Flower Relay Project
As part of the Tenhama Line Flower Relay Project Connecting People and Eras, we weeded the planted areas around Kiga Station.
As an adaptive activity group of the Tenhama Line Flower Relay Project, we will continue to engage in regular cleaning and beautification activities in and around the flower beds planted at Kiga Station.
Environmental education is held at Aritama Elementary School by using DVDs we donated.
Every year, we provide environmental education to 4th grade students at Aritama Elementary School in Hamamatsu City in order to raise their awareness of the environment. This year and last year, in consideration of COVID-19, the classes were conducted with pre-recorded DVDs.
