On February 20, 2011, nine Canon employees participated in "Eco Festa Wonderland," held at Ota Ward Yaguchi Nishi Elementary School. This festival is sponsored by Ota Ward every year, and this year marked the tenth time it has been held. Along with introducing the activities that the ward government, NPOs, corporations and other organizations routinely carry out, its objective is to have children can learn about the environment while enjoying the event through lessons about the environment and learning by experience.

Under the title "Be Ecological at Home by Making a Candle," Canon had the children experience candle-making. The objective was to have them use the candles they made to hold a candle-light night at home with their family members and think about the environment.

From the start a continuous flow of people visited the art classroom, where the festival was held, and a total of 332 people enjoyed themselves making candles. In addition, panels featuring the "Ink Cartridge Homecoming Project" and the "Bellmark Drive" were on display at the festival venue, and the environmental activities undertaken by Canon were introduced.

Canon hopes that this event provided an opportunity to think about the environment for many of the children who participated in it.
