  We face unprecedented environmental crisis around the world today. Even though we were able to maintain the amount of greenhouse gas emissions in 2002, the temperature of the earth will rise. Global warming is the most serious challenge in human history.

  If we consider the future of us and the next generation, we must move forward to find the drastic solution. Now is the time that each of us should pay attention to the environment, identify the problems, take action to find solutions and leave our children with clean environment and hopeful future.

１． Environmental Problems

  The CO2 emissions in Japan was the sixth place in the world in 2006.

  The Japanese government aims at 6%reduction of CO2 emissions (2008-2012), which was proposed in Kyoto Protocol.

  The summit conference at Hokkaido-Lake of Toya, was held in July, 2008, and the prominent leading countries agreed to share the recognition and the importance of higher CO2 reduction.

3． What corporations should do

  Business and home offices use a significant amount of electricity for heating, cooling and lighting.

  A government is the leading figure of the environmental problems, but each company also has responsible to participate the movement as one of the corporate social responsibility.

  Still, their participations are voluntary, not forced by the law in Japan. However, each of employees will be required to share the responsibility in the future.
