Yonago Plant Employees Clean up Nakaumi and Lake Shinji
Cleanup activity
Forty Minebea Yonago Plant employees pitched in to help with a cleanup campaign aimed at protecting the shores of Lakes Nakaumi and Shinji. Stretching across the borders of Tottori and Shimane Prefectures, the lake sites are included in the Ramsar Convention's List of Wetlands of International Importance. The cleanup campaign, run by Tottori and Shimane Prefectures as well as five lakeshore municipalities in the area (Yonago, Sakaiminato, Matsue, Yasugi, and Izumo), is held every June. About 8,000 people participated this year, picking up a total of 15 tons of trash.
Despite being the middle of the rainy season, the sun shined down on everyone that day as they worked up a good sweat for a great cause.
Minebea looks forward to taking part in similar community and environmental activities in the near future.
