eco+waza coming up


The next volume of eco+waza is coming up on December 10th.
Our office, with 6 in the editorial team including Naomi and me, was a bit chaotic for the past few days... but now all is set, we are waiting for the printing process to finish. Honestly speaking, the next volume is going to be so impactful, I can't wait to read it myself. (Should I be humble as all Japanese people are? :) )
It will be sold at major Maruzen stores, National Azabu, Ryusui Shobo Aoyama, Books 246 and nearby bookstores.
So here are the contents...

Congratulations! Looks like an issue with a lot of potential impact. You should try to send it overseas as well. Are you sending this to some embassies...?

Your timing is impeccable as well - now is really the beginning of the green jobs economy. We have no other options, we have to focus on the truly sustainable stories!

Hi Martin, thank you so much! We are trying to export it overseas, although there are still some issues to solve... do you think it is ok to send to embassies? we would love to do that. I believe we are on the same track toward sustainability,really looking forward seeing you on Saturday!
