■ Comment from Mr. Yasunobu Nabeta, Superintendent of Kinokawa City Board of Education
Amid concerns about health damage caused by heatstroke due to the intense heat in recent years, how to implement safety measures for students not only during school hours but also while commuting to and from school has become an urgent issue.
Through this agreement, 'Waterstand,' which can supply delicious water anytime when needed, will be introduced, and we are very grateful that the risk of health damage due to heatstroke among students will be reduced.
Under the intense summer heat, the situation where children are commuting with multiple water bottles hanging from them is too harsh, and we hope this situation will be improved.
Furthermore, through the initiatives to achieve the SDGs centered on environmental conservation promoted by Waterstand Co., Ltd., we expect this to be an opportunity for students to become conscious of environmental consideration and health.
