About this event
"MOTTAINAI Action Fes," a hands-on event discovering new value in items that are about to be thrown away or are no longer needed, will be held in Sanmu City, Chiba Prefecture. At this event, a variety of hands-on booths are available to enjoyably learn about the concept of "mottainai" (avoiding waste), including all-you-can-stuff off-spec vegetables and workshops utilizing leftover wood scraps. In addition, collaborative projects will be held to discover the charms of Sanmu City. On the special stage, comedian Obata no Onisan will appear for a talk on the theme of "mottainai" and challenge easy-to-enjoy new sports. After the stage concludes, a new sports trial session will also be held, open to anyone. Furthermore, a trial session of "SpoGOMI," which originated in Japan and contributes to environmental improvement through sports, will take place. Competing in the "quality" and "quantity" of trash collected within a designated area, participants can experience the fun and sense of achievement of cleaning up the town while cooperating with teammates. The venue is "Nakama to Tomaru Gakko Sanmu Nishisho," an accommodation facility renovated from the former Sanmu Nishi Elementary School, which closed due to the declining birthrate.
