Urban Green Makers

When the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan in 2011, Takuma Nitta lost his house, hometown, and the beautiful scenery around it. He started to rethink the connection between community and nature, seeing how it enriched people’s lives, and he wanted to give back to disaster-affected areas around the world. In 2015, he developed Urban Green Makers with the mission of bringing more green products into our world. By giving trees and other green items to disaster-affected areas in Japan, Philippines, Africa and Bangladesh, he hopes to bridge the gap between people and the environment.
