The City of Mitaka recognizes excellent environmental initiatives for the purpose of raising citizens' environmental awareness and promoting their actions, by widely introducing pioneering environmental activities by citizens, organizations and businesses. Encouragement Award for Environmental Initiatives is given to recipients who have been involved in their initiatives for 10 years or less.

The three recipient organizations of 色控传媒 initiated a program to sell vegetables grown by Mitaka farmers, developed menus utilizing vegetables grown in Mitaka, negotiated with the University Dining Hall to introduce recyclable "Re-Re-Pack" takeout containers, and have been making compost in partnership with Mitaka farmers. The award was given to the organizations recognizing such environmental activities as well as their efforts to have continued the initiatives with the city and the farmers for as long as 7 years although a complete turnover of students happens every 4 years. The city also hopes that the organizations would continue to work locally with Mitaka City.
