In a joint effort between the Toshiba Carrier corporation and students from Shizuoka University of Art and Culture\u2019s Habitat campus chapter, \u201cAlicia\u201d, volunteers worked hard through harsh summer heat to support their local community by cleaning up trash littered at the base of Mt. Fuji on August 27th.<\/p>\n

Campus chapters are self-organized groups of student volunteers aligned with Habitat\u2019s vision, \u201ca world where everyone has a decent place to live\u201d. Operating out of universities, campus chapters act as volunteers, fundraisers, advocates, and educators, with an emphasis on housing issues around the globe and within local communities. Leading up to the pandemic, Alicia had placed a focus on sustainable community development and ecological efforts in their area, including cleanups around Mt. Fuji. Aiming to jumpstart activity once again with the easing of the pandemic, students from Alicia, with the generous support of Fuji city\u2019s own Toshiba Carrier, were able to hold a mountainside cleanup event once again.<\/p>\n
