what is Hachidori Project

  • Cooling down our hectic daily lives( the earth) by:
    Choosing our food (Food mileage)
    Food mileage is the distance from where our food comes to where we eat. This distance can calculate the amount of CO2 discharged by transportation. Buying food from local farmers can reduce food mileage.

  • Kyoto protocol

    Most of the scientists in the world have agreed that our future will be dire if global warming continues to advance. In 1997, NGOs and representatives of many counties in the world got together in Kyoto and promised to prevent global warming. This is so-called “Kyoto protocol” came into effect in February 2005. In Japan, we promised to reduce 6% from 5-years (2008-2012) greenhouse effect gas in comparison with 1990. In reality, we have to decrease 14% (the discharge) right now because it has already increased 8% since Kyoto protocol. (2005) Even though there are scientists who think that we have to cut down the half of discharges right now, Kyoto protocol can be the first step toward preventing global warming. We have to begin to take a step.

  • One little hummingbird named Kurikindi drops a single drop of water onto the huge forest fire. As a phrase or a saying “a drop in the bucket”, our each acts for cooling down the heating earth looks ineffective and in vain. But, think about it! Global warming is the phenomenon that is happening, being piled up our each act. Where is CO2 discharged from? Though Industry 40%, transportation 20%, domestic 13% are often talked about, Someone consuming things produced by industries and using the services of transportation are undoubtedly　ourselves. In another words, if we try to make a difference in our hectic lives, it will bring a big change into whole society. This　surely be cooling down the earth even if it looks little. Let’s start dropping (our single drop of water)!!
