We received a letter of appreciation from Ichihara City.A "green curtain" is created by growing climbing plants such as bitter gourds and morning glories on a net stretched over a window or wall. The green curtain blocks direct sunlight entering through the window and cools the indoor air by evaporating water from the leaves and absorbing heat from the surroundings.
In Ichihara City, this project has been implemented since 2009 as part of the global warming mitigation measures, and in the current fiscal year, the project was implemented at 62 facilities including nursery schools, elementary and junior high schools, and public facilities. The Chiba Plant provided bitter gourd seedlings and fertilizer to 38 facilities this fiscal year.
