In August, Kameoka city I live now hosts the Marine Litter Summit.

The purpose of the conference is to investigate the cause of the marine litter problem and discuss on measures towards the issue.

But why marine here? This city is located just next to Kyoto city, not surrounded by any sea.

You may not know this issue can be occured everywhere, even in an inland city like mine.
