Through the lecture, students reflected on the appropriate roles individuals should play within the waste processing system, ways to reduce waste, and our attitude toward parting with possessions.


A representative of Nambu Library said, "We hope that the humanities lecture will raise awareness of the increasingly serious climate and environmental issues and serve as an opportunity to take an interest in the environment by practicing proper waste separation in daily life."
