I also wish that you encourage people around you to join eco-friendly promotion activities." Mr. Goto followed him and said, "I felt strong messages from each of your wok, and I hope you will remain committed to the protection of environment." After the comments of the two, Mr. Sumoto said, "We will continue to create an opportunity for the students to think about the environment by carrying out various school activities.

The posters of the winners were on display at the University Library and many people came to see them including local residents. They will also be on display at the Affiliated Elementary School and Junior High School.
