Since Yokkaichi marked the 40th anniversary of the court ruling in the Yokkaichi pollution lawsuit on July 24, 2012, the students learned about these pollution problems and efforts made in Yokkaichi to improve the environment from local residents involved in the lawsuit, company workers, and local government officials.

The participants showed great interest in the lectures and visits to relevant facilities, which gave a good impression to the lecturers.

At the end of the program, they also made presentations at the Environment Summit in Yokkaichi about their views and ideas on what they can do as young people and members of the next generation to protect the future of the Earth. (Ozaki)
