[Free participation] Scheduled to be held on Sunday, November 10th! We are recruiting participants for the “Kamikawa Zero Carbon Academy Tour”
* “Maybe that idea is actually zero carbon?” – Why not join a bus tour to experience such a “realization”? ～*
The Hokkaido Kamikawa General Promotion Bureau is working on a variety of zero-carbon projects that utilize Kamikawa’s local resources in all fields, with the aim of realizing “Zero Carbon Hokkaido” by 2050.
We are holding the “Kamikawa Zero Carbon Academy” with the aim of nurturing the “buds of initiatives”.
In FY 2020, which will be the 4th year of the final event, we will be holding a [Inspection/Experience Bus Tour] and [Workshop] in collaboration with Furano City and Nakafurano Town, focusing on the Furano area, which is full of attractions for food and sightseeing. Through this, we will delve deeper into “zero carbon” from various perspectives.
Learn the basic concept of zero carbon before participating in the “Academy Tour”!
We will explore “hints” to deepen your understanding of zero carbon and take action.

CO2 is also emitted from the operation of the buses used by
