[Sagamihara City] “ZERO CARBON Poster Session Challenge” held by university students
Young people who will lead the future proposed decarbonization measures with free ideas
……
In Sagamihara City, citizens, businesses, government, etc. are collaborating and cooperating as one to realize a decarbonized society by 2050.
“Sagamihara”, which establishes basic principles for acting as a decarbonized society to prevent global warming.
The new ordinance was enacted in April 2020, and various initiatives are underway.
This time, under the theme of “Measures that Sagamihara City should take to involve citizens and businesses in order to realize a decarbonized society in 2050,” students from nearby universities proposed decarbonization measures that are not bound by conventional thinking. We held a “ZERO CARBON Poster Session (*) Challenge” where participants could participate in the ZERO CARBON poster session (*). *Poster session: A presentation format in which the presenter summarizes the results of research and development and what they are currently working on in a single poster, communicates the content face-to-face with the audience, and engages in a question-and-answer session.

Oberlin University Leaf Life
Title: Leaf Life
Presentation summary: Focusing on photosynthesis, which absorbs carbon dioxide and generates oxygen, we combined lapaza (cells that live like plants) and artificial leaves (silk leaves), which take only the chloroplasts from green algae and use them, to achieve photosynthesis. Proposed to increase the number of chloroplasts to “create leaves that do not wither.”
