Britain wins the World Cup of Litter-Picking

  • In the first-ever SpoGomi World Cup, Britain emerged victorious.
  • The team seeks to increase public awareness of ocean pollution and litter reduction.
  • The goal of this year’s World Cup is to increase public awareness of environmental problems

In the first-ever SpoGomi World Cup, an environmental awareness-raising initiative that brought together 21 teams from across the globe this week in Tokyo to collect litter, Britain emerged victorious.

Teams of three, representing countries as far apart as Australia and Brazil, spent ninety minutes over the course of two sessions combing through the streets of Shibuya and Omotesando in search of waste, before classifying what they found.

World Cup of Litter-Picking

The SpoGomi World Cup was won by the British team “The North Will Rise Again,” who gathered 57.27 kg of trash to score 9,046.1 points. In contrast to other teams that were less competitive and more environmentally conscious, the team seeks to increase public awareness of ocean pollution and litter reduction.

Finding trash was difficult due to Japan’s strict hygiene regulations, but the team enjoyed the challenge. The combination of the Japanese word for trash, “Gomi,” and the word “sport” results in the name SpoGomi.

The goal of this year’s World Cup, which was hosted in Japan, is to increase public awareness of environmental problems, particularly ocean plastic pollution.

As stated by the World Cup’s organizers, the Nippon Foundation, the event was designed to raise awareness among those who are not yet aware of the problem of marine waste and to give those who are aware of it and wish to take action some opportunities. In 2025, there will be a second World Cup.
