 This week I saw the news that even paper bags at the register are now charged. I understand why there is a charge for plastic shopping bags, but not for paper bags. According to this news, charging for paper bags is also having the effect of encouraging people to use their own bags. I thought this was a very good idea. I would also like to promote the use of eco-friendly bags.

I saw this article. It seems that entering your PIN is now mandatory for some credit card payments. I started having a credit card when I was in college. When I use it, I worry a lot about overusing it or that it might be misused by others, so I think it's a very good thing that a PIN number is now mandatory.  https://frauddetection.cacco.co.jp/media/news/21426/

　I had a very interesting lecture from Tomomi and learned a lot. She said that she was balancing her business with the SDGs, but at first I was skeptical, wondering if that was possible, because I had heard that human economic activity was deteriorating the environment. However, she chose to coexist with the Satoyama and grew organic rice in terraced fields. I learned from her that it is possible to balance business with the SDGs.  　In the future, I would like to respect her idea of ​​coexistence with nature and carry out a group project. 　Her story about " IKIGAI" was the most memorable for me. The four she said: Like, being good at, demand, and to make money. If these come together just right, it becomes "IKIGAI", I really felt that this was true. I felt that it would not be good if even one thing was missing. I empathized with that idea. I will start looking for a job, but I also want to start a business that can be " IKIGAI".

 Recently, I saw the news that a 24-hour restaurant, Nakau, is going to stop operating 24 hours a day. The dicision was made to keep the store clean. I think this policy will have a great economic impact on both restaurant and employees. Since this restaurant is a chain, closing it for even a few hours would result in a huge loss. Employees will also earn less than they did before the policy. I work part-time at a 24-hour store, so I'm worried about what will happen next.
