This event is an activity calling for protection and preservation of the global environment "Cosmo Earth ConsciousAs part of "Act", alpinist Noguchi Ken is talk session with the front runner who plays an active part on the planet.


In the second half of the event, talks were held with a grand theme of "The world is made up of A and B sides".


Noguchi is demonstrating its strengths other than his own field of expertise, trying to solve social problems using Mt. Fuji by utilizing the experience of mountain climbing and sports at the end, but from Noguchi,

"Although Mt. Fuji is beautiful from a distance, there are a lot of waste when entering inside.In 18 years, by continuing activities every year, the amount of garbage has also decreased considerably, and it has become obvious from around the 10th year There is almost no garbage on the top from the 5th gig. "

And introduce activities that think carefully of mountains.

From the end to do Bhutan's goodwill ambassador,

"We are supporting sports by going to Bhutan, Bhutan is a country that aims to maximize the amount of happiness of the people as a country, I feel that everyone in the general is happy. , Drug contamination is becoming a social problem, and in order to prevent young people from hand-dragging drugs, we are spreading sports widely and doing activities to protect young people through sports. "

In addition to introducing examples of solving social problems through sports in Bhutan, he also said that Bhutan's first national tournament will be held in the capital.

Furthermore, Noguchi, as an episode with a child I met in Himalaya,

"When I dreamed of a child I met in Himalaya and asked what to do, it was said to be a dream, for children who can not read books, they do not understand the words, there is no concept of a dream there I made a school to manage such reality.We can not afford to go to school alone either, so school teachers and Ryota Fujimaki of Remioromen will donate instruments to Riota Fujimaki Trying out school actually, as children got education, children increasingly talking about dreams increased. "

And also show off the episodes unique to Noguchi who have seen the world. I talked about the importance of having new discoveries by going to various places in the country and actually touching people in the country, working in collaboration with people in other countries.


Regarding efforts for environmental problems in the future, from the end,

"As in the world of sports, there are times when the problem and the cause of the problem are separated. For example, the Achilles tendon hurts, but instead of cooling the Achilles tendon, it can be cured by slightly changing the position of the shoulder. By sharing the solutions to these local problems with everyone, the whole thing will be balanced. Problem solving in sports may be useful for environmental problems as well. "

And I talked about his unique argument because I am active in social contribution through sports.

Also from Noguchi,

"There is an eco word for the earth, but really thinking about environmental problems it would be better for human beings to disappear from the earth.When we think so, ecology for humans becomes more important, so how far naturally I will put out my hands and do not put out my hands, but the balance becomes important.For example, when setting up a mega solar in Germany, it is decided that we have to plant six times as many trees as the trees harvested at the time of installation. "

, While bringing out foreign cases, appealed on the environmental problems of the earth in his own words.

In addition, at the question time from the participants, the question was asked by the child "What kind of garbage has come out in the Mt. Fuji cleaning work, please let me know if there is any surprising thing".

Noguchi, with a gentle tone,

"On the top of Mt. Fuji, it is a can of canned juice and tobacco, then a toilet, especially at the foot of Mt. Fuji, there are many PET bottles lost from the car.In addition, car tires, garbage from the hospital, All kinds of things such as television were thrown away, from now on, there will definitely be more mega solar. "

When answering, the elementary school student who asked questions was expressing expression.

At the end of the event from the end,

"I think that I can see a variety of things with technology, so I think that everyone wants to do a lot of things while thinking. I think that I would like to do what I can do from sports."

I sent a message and the talk event for 2 hours closed the curtain with a fulfilling expression of the fans gathered.
