On April 22, JAXA and Nestle Japan announced that they would launch a joint eco-project #NescafeOurPlanet to learn about the global environment by parent and child.

The project is an eco-project in which Nestle, which is working to conserve resources, collaborates with JAXA to tackle environmental issues by visualizing global environmental change and global warming, and the promotion of the use of MyMug and MyTumbler, as well as efforts to reduce the use of plastics in product packaging.

As the first step of this program, we opened the Virtual Science Museum on the same day of Earth Day, a day that considers the global environment, where parent and child learn about themes such as Earth and the environment. Currently, the influence of the new corona viruses increases the amount of time you stay at home, supporting children who have little chance to go out or classes.

The Virtual Science Museum provides insight into the environmental changes observed by JAXA’s satellites, such as Ibuki and Shikisai .

It is also possible to unwrap data from space captured by satellites and learn about events of environmental change, which are often topics in recent years such as “extreme heat,” “threat of typhoons,” and “abnormal weather.”
