We Manage the Recycled
Milk Carton Mark Project
We are Conducting Surveys on the Recycling of "Other Paper Containers" As part of the Japan Fund for the Global Environment Grants Program, we plan to make a booklet introducing cases of recycling "other paper-made containers and packaging (other paper containers)" and hold a symposium. At present, we are visiting local authorities all over Japan for interviews. Other than talking with local government officers in charge of recycling, we have asked to be taken to the stockyards of used paper recyclers to hear the voice of the workers. Access to firsthand accounts of the issue has brought to light the status and challenges of paper recycling and the problems of the Containers and Packaging Recycling Law. We hope to incorporate these valuable voices into the booklet and propose a way that will make paper recycling worth the sedulous workers' while. Individual Action is the Key to Environmental Issues Global environmental issues are a tremendously big challenge that cannot be overcome simply with economic logic. Without the involvement of many citizens, the environment cannot be preserved; nor can welfare and local culture. This is a timeless theme that we must always keep in mind.
In building a recycling-oriented society, the process of establishing an "environment-friendly" lifestyle for a society that cherishes resources is important. "One person can't change anything!" is not the right way to think. We believe that the key is, indeed, in the action of an individual. |
