Title: Trash and Garbage
Genre: Discussion
Description:
When you step into a railway station, recently you can recognize some of the things are missing. Do you know what they are? Clocks, Hanging ads. in train, and Trash Can. Moreover, on some of the station trash cans, they inform you not to throw in garbage and trash delivered from your family (cf. attached photo).
There were lots of episode behind this information. In Keihan Hirakata Station one day, a station staff was surprised that frying pan from a family was thrown into the trash can of the station.
In Kyoto City, in 2011 666 trash cans were set up, but in 2021 only 297 cans existed, which means many trash cans were removed in sightseeing spots (cf. news below).

I hope you all to discuss this urgent city life matters with the agenda.
Thank you.
