The winning entries for the project we were accepting submissions for in this article have been decided! We will introduce them along with comments from the Green Ponta note team.

■ "Climate Tech" sweeping Europe

It is said that over 13 trillion yen in Japanese currency is being invested globally in the field of "climate tech," which develops technology for climate change countermeasures, and it is expected to continue growing rapidly. With countries setting decarbonization as a goal, it clearly shows that the younger generation is becoming increasingly conscious of environmental issues. This was a very educational and compelling piece that gave me a lot to think about.

■ [Globalization] For the expansion of organic farming, export and technological development are more important than eco-consciousness

I think the issue of Japan's agricultural decline is often discussed these days. As one solution, wouldn't it be effective to utilize the latest agricultural technology, consolidate production areas, and strengthen exports by branding them as organic produce? I was impressed by this piece, which summarizes such deep insights very clearly based on various research. To prevent the disappearance of high-quality Japanese agricultural products, I hope each of us will take an interest in this first.

■ [Feature Article] Upcycling discarded rice into paper! Food loss paper "kome-kami"

This piece clearly conveyed the starting point of the idea for upcycling food that would otherwise be discarded into paper, and how the technical hurdles were overcome. Making business cards out of paper produced through such upcycling can be a conversation starter, which is interesting. mySDGs shares various companies' SDG initiatives. I look forward to seeing what initiatives will be covered in the future.

■ I want to donate used heat packs

I think many people use heat packs during the harsh cold of winter, but it is wonderful that donating them to the Go Green Group instead of just throwing them away can lead to the conservation of water resources. I didn't know that the ingredients in heat packs could make this possible, so this piece gave me a major realization.

■ The little things I'm doing for my sustainable future

We are very grateful that you reconsidered the SDGs and shared information as a result of this collaboration project between note and us. Using worn-out clothes as cleaning rags is a very sustainable initiative. I would be very happy if this could serve as an opportunity for people to have even a little bit of awareness about what they can do to live a sustainable life, even if it's just small things in their daily routine.

Comments from the Green Ponta note representative

Hello, we are the Green Ponta Action team. We held the "#HowToApproachSDGs" theme project with the hope that it would become a place for everyone to share the SDG actions they are taking, and thereby bring us a little closer to realizing a sustainable lifestyle. We, the Green Ponta team, also hope that everyone will feel free to engage in good things for the environment and society through our app. We would be very happy if this contest served as an opportunity for creators, readers, and us to reflect on our daily lives together. Thank you for participating.

Starting the theme project

We received a comment from the Green Ponta representative regarding the holding of this theme project.

The Green Ponta Project began with the vision of "Towards a society wrapped in waste-free happiness."
In order to realize a sustainable lifestyle, we launched "Green Ponta Action (GPA)," which allows you to earn Ponta points through SDG actions that you can easily engage in during your daily life, based on the idea of whether we could get everyone to engage in more SDG actions.

GPA is a way to easily engage in good things for society, but when we were thinking about wanting to hear deeper opinions, we realized that the "note" platform might be perfect.
So, with the cooperation of note, we have set up a "place to share our approaches and thoughts on the SDGs."

Please tell us your thoughts, such as the SDG actions you take daily and what you would like to work on together with those around you. We look forward to receiving many posts.
