Spontaneous Beach Cleaning Week [11-18 January]

Tancha beach is in a really sad state after the stormy seas washing up lots of trash. 

If you are looking for an excuse to be outdoors, please consider going to Tancha to help clean the shore! You can always go anytime you like, for as long or as short as you like, just leave what you find near the carpark at the bottom of the OIST hill! Spontaneous cleaning without previous planning with Onna Village Office is fine, just tell the resource centre afterwards where you left your collection! If you don't have beach cleaning bags to hand you can also use normal garbage bags. And if you don't have any bags handy, you can always pick up the large floats and leave those off the beach (especially the polystyrene ones). Every little bit helps! Spread the word!

Earth Overshoot Day (EOD)

Earth Overshoot Day (EOD) is the calculated illustrative calendar date on which humanity's resource consumption for the year exceeds Earth’s capacity to regenerate those resources that year. In 2024, it falls on August 1st. The term "overshoot" represents the level by which human population's demand overshoots the sustainable amount of biological resources regenerated on Earth.
