Throughout this term online training, I learned that learning about SDGs in detail and take action will lead to change in our future.
I suggest that reducing plastic waste is the best thing to achieve SDGs.

According to the results of Sustainable Development Report 2022, Goal 13: Climate action Goal 14:Life below water,
are designated as serious challenges. Moreover, referred to the report of the World Economic Forum, it is alarmed that plastic waste in the sea will take over the amount of fish.


Large amounts of plastic waste is a big issue, Meanwhile, reducing plastic isn't difficult by efforting Societies and individuals. Reducing plastic waste will also lead to combat with climate change, marine pollution.

I think that the main cause of plastic waste is that most people don't have enough knowledge about recycling, and they aren't conscious about it and haven't take action to reduce plastic waste.

Apparently, we have been conscious about recycling plastic materials properly by just throwing them in the plastic corner trashbox, but we can sort it more detaily. For example, plastic food containers which we often spend can be soat as lid and trays, and they are recommende d to throw separately, but there are few people who actually execute them. If adequately, plastic waste would not be recycled enough.　

Municipalities and companies should set rules and familiarize the importance of recycling. In order to do that, I think that it requires opportunities for education and promotion. In addition to that , not only stayed at recycling, but also they should Shift to "Circulating society" in the future.

As an example, Osaki city, Kagoshima, has implemented a recycling policy which recycles things to 27 categories. They succeeded in achieving 83.1 percent recycling rate, which ranked the best recycling rate in Japan.

Finally, whether we can achieve SDGs or not depends on our efforts and consciousness. For those reasons I mentioned above, We can contribute to　achieving SDGS by being conscious about recycling.
