■What is the Orgabits Project?

"ORGABITS" is an organic cotton spread project that started in 2005 with the idea that everyone should contribute "bits" to the global environment and producers.
In order to facilitate the use and popularization of organic cotton, we have adopted a "reversal idea" to deliver 10% organic cotton products to 100 times more people, regardless of the amount of organic cotton used in one piece of clothing. More than 130 fashion brands participate in the event, producing more than 8 million items in total. Activities have expanded to include support for farmers in the country of origin of organic cotton and NPO corporations.

■ About the Sakura Namiki Project

The Sakura Namiki Project is an activity by the NPO Sakura Namiki Network to plant cherry trees in the areas reached by the tsunami that occurred in the Tohoku region during the Great East Japan Earthquake, in order to prevent the memory of the disaster from fading.
March 11, 2011. The tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake caused enormous damage to the beautiful Tohoku region. An earthquake and tsunami are said to hit eastern Japan once every 100 years. I want to pass down the story from generation to generation and protect life.
In November 2011, the Cherry Blossom Trees Project was launched by the strong desire of people in Tohoku to plant cherry trees in the area where the tsunami hit, and volunteers involved in flowers.
Tree planting began in the spring of 2012, and by last year 5,719 cherry trees had been planted in Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate prefectures.
