I am Sohma Shimizu, and I live in Chiba. I became interested in studying about marine pollution when I first discovered that our lifestyles were torturing marine life. I’ve always questioned how us humans try to “control” this earth, when all animals and plants should be equals on this planet. Is it just for us to prioritize human convenience even when it leads to unnecessary deforestation and marine pollution?
I also regret not recognizing and trying to solve the issues about marine plastic earlier, when animals in the ocean were suffering from it long before humans did. In SB, I am going to express my passion as much as I can. Thank you.

Before joining the IHRP, I was not particularly interested in the issue of marine plastic. But at the same time, I had a genuine question in my mind, “What can I do to help solve this problem? That was when a poster of IHRP caught my attention at school, and I thought that I might be able to help solve the problem. Participating in the program, my team interviewed companies and restaurants and listened to the real voices of consumers. As a result, we discovered the lack of connection between individuals and companies. We believe that if we can use the influence of corporations in our daily lives to learn more about marine plastic, it will significantly impact the actions and awareness of each of us. With the help of corporations, we will create a society where it is easy for all people, including those who are not deeply interested in this issue like I was before and people from other countries, to be aware of the issue and take action. We are the solution to the marine plastic issue!
