The Chiba University Environmental ISO Student Committee (hereinafter referred to as the Student Committee) distributed 2,500 original drawstring bags made of organic cotton to all incoming undergraduate students at the 2026 Chiba University Entrance Ceremony held on Sunday, April 5, 2026. This initiative is an annual activity aimed at congratulating the new students and raising environmental awareness.
The distributed drawstring bag is a convenient size for holding mobile batteries and small items, and it uses environmentally friendly organic cotton as its material. The design compares new students to "young leaves," incorporating motifs that symbolize nature, life, and learning. Through the message "Grow yourself, Grow the future," it expresses the consciousness of personal growth and the realization of a sustainable society. The design was created by a student from the Faculty of Law, Politics and Economics.
In addition, the leaflet distributed along with the drawstring bag included a welcome message to the new students, as well as information on the relationship between organic cotton and the SDGs, creating an opportunity for them to be conscious of environmentally friendly behavior in their daily lives.
The Student Committee will continue to contribute to the spread of environmental awareness on and off campus and the realization of a sustainable society through student-led initiatives.
