tree-planting in ashio

Every year the town of Ashio holds a tree-planting day to gradually reverse the damage caused by a nearby copper mine. Some friends and I decided that separating our household garbage into burnables, plastic, other non-burnables, PET drink bottles, cans and jars, dead batteries, magazines, newspapers, and flattened milk cartons is simply NOT ENOUGH for the environment in Japan! So off we went.
