The Cool Biz campaign to combat global warming will start again on June 1 and run through the end of September. Japanese workers are urged to ditch their neckties and dress lightly in open-collar short-sleeve shirts. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has urged all of his Cabinet ministers to Okinawan shirts. The energy conservation campaign was introduced in summer 2005 to help Japan meet its obligations under the Kyoto Protocol on global warming and is going strong. In 2006, the Cool Biz campaign cut carbon dioxide emissions by 1.14 million tons.
[Opinion]
I didn’t know that last summer Cool Biz campaign cut much carbon dioxide emissions. The Cool Biz campaign became the peg to consider global warming seriously. But we shouldn’t be satisfied with that outcome. We should go on striving to resolve global warming.
