How to Create a Low Carbon Society
On July 6th, which was the day before Tohyako G8 Summit, and also the eve of Tanabata*, Ecotwaza launched a workshop-party at Gotanda, Tokyo. After a panel discussion by three professionals about low carbon society, all participants worked in groups to create a message from Tokyo to the whole world. Nothing will change until we can imagine an ideal world, a world with less carbon emission and lower ecological footprint. The participants realized that technology and market could be great tools for lessening CO2, but it is even more important to set your own goal of lifestyle, start buying eco-friendly products as a consumer, and communicate with others.
*Tanabata is a traditional Japanese festival based on a myth about two lovers in the sky who are separated by the Milky Way and able to see each other only once a year on July 7th. On the night of Tanabata, it is said that if we make a wish upon the Milky Way, it will come true.
Full version of panel discussion coming up in October.
