Participation to Lake Suwa Adoption Program
Lake Suwa Adoption Program is an institution that divides the shore of Lake Suwa into 32 sections, and in order to protect the beautiful environment around it, more than a dozen corporations and groups have become foster parents to beautify each section.
It has been introduced since this April, as Suwa Architecture Office as the organizer.Our company has always positively participated in preservation of the environment, such as accession to Lake Suwa purification liaison council, and introduction of environment management system, as a corporation that is established in this Shinshu Suwa area, manufacturing the very workings of nature, using the gift of the nature such as soybeans and rice as main ingredients.
Recently, we have quickly expressed our desire to participate in this Lake Suwa Adoption Program and have signed the contract.
Along with the cleaning project of Lake Suwa lakeshore that we have been participating, starting this year, we will pursue beautification of Lake Suwa, mainly around the section we have been given to care for.
At the same time, we are considering to widen our support regarding other environment preservation activities.
The word gadopth means to become someone's parent, and the adoption program (foster parent program) is for residence of communities or corporations to adopt these public spaces and nurture them as a parent nurtures a child, leading to cleaning and beautifying activities.
Local municipalities will support this activity by providing or renting out equipments and by advertising it.
This adoption program started in Texas, U.S.A., where trashing of freeways had become a serious problem in 1985, and spread to all over the nation quickly. In Japan, this was introduced in 1998, and today, over 40 municipalities have adopted it.
