■ What is Orgabits Run?
Orgabits is a project to disseminate organic cotton that is friendly to the global environment and producers. Based on the idea that everyone should contribute to the global environment "a little bit" at a time, we started by donating 1 yen for each collaboration product with participating brands to an organization that supports cotton farmers. Currently, about 100 brands participate in this project, which is the largest number of apparel brands in Japan. Orgabits Run is also attracting attention as a fashion-conscious competition, such as supporting cotton farmers, sustainable initiatives such as recycling clothing, and holding the Best Dresser Award, where you can receive sponsored items from many fashion brands. increase.
■Yoshimoto entertainers participate in promoting SDGs! ! A collaboration with Chiba-kun has been realized! ?
I met the Yoshimoto comedians who participated for the first time this year at the event of "Hokkaido Minwara Week" held in Sapporo in August. Participation this time has been realized because we sympathized with the thoughts of Orgabits and hit it off! I will also participate in workshops. Also this year, Chiba Prefecture's mascot character, Chiba-kun, will come to support us. There may also be interactions between Yoshimoto comedians and Chiba-kun! ? This is an event that can be enjoyed by a wide range of people, from families to environmentally conscious runners.

■ What is the “Orgabits Project”?
An organic cotton promotion project in which the largest number of apparel brands in Japan participates. Currently, about 100 brands are participating in the "reversal idea" to deliver 10% organic cotton products to 100 times more people, and a total of more than 7.2 million items have been produced. . The activity has expanded to support farmers in the country of origin and NPO corporations, and the circle is expanding as a social contribution activity that allows you to participate in fashion through one piece of clothing.
*Cotton produced by conventional cultivation methods uses 5.7% of the pesticides used in the world (*source: PESTICIDE ACTION NETWORK UK), resulting in soil pollution, environmental problems, health damage, etc. It contains serious problems. On the other hand, organic cotton refers to cotton grown organically on farmland that has not used pesticides or chemical fertilizers for more than 2-3 years. As the demand for organic cotton increases, it is expected that conventional cotton cultivation will decrease and the above problems will be improved.
■What is the Green Down Project?
Feathers used in down products are a renewable resource harvested from waterfowl for meat, but many have been incinerated as waste. In addition, due to the rapid increase in demand, waterfowl were bred solely for the purpose of collecting feathers, and live hand-picking was still practiced. There is no end to the use of chemicals that pose concerns about their effects on the human body. The Green Down Project is a project in which like-minded members collect and refine feather products and recycle them into new feather products for the sake of respect for life and the natural environment. On the day of the event, down products will be collected by the Green Down Project.
