Hi everyone,
Today, we celebrate Marine Day, a significant holiday in Japan. This day is dedicated to appreciating the ocean's bounty and recognizing its importance to the island nation of Japan.
About Marine Day:
- Marine Day, also known as "Umi no Hi," was established in 1941 to commemorate the return of Emperor Meiji from a sea voyage in 1876.
- It became a national holiday in 1995, making it one of the newest holidays in Japan.
- It is celebrated on the third Monday of July, marking the start of summer vacation for many Japanese students.
Quick tips on how we can protect our oceans:
- Beach Clean-Ups: Participate in or organize local beach cleanup events. Every piece of trash removed makes a difference in preserving marine habitats.
- Mindful Consumption: Choose reusable over disposable. Replace single-use plastics with sustainable alternatives like cloth bags, metal straws, and glass containers.
Please note that our offices in Japan will be closed in observance of this holiday.
We encourage everyone to take a moment to appreciate the world's oceans and their significance to our global ecosystem.
Thank you,
People Team
