Yesterday I had a great lecture at Tokyo City University, which is the top University in Tokyo. After the lecture there were some questions regarding how and who to get involved with in the “real” green movement in Japan- and as promised here is some information:

• The Destruction of Minamiyama Mountain

Minamiyama, the closest natural green space to the center of Tokyo, is an 87 hectare oasis of greenery in a world of concrete. The benefits of sustaining this green space are endless; for the people’s health and spiritual well being, for the threatened and endangered species like the Nothern Goshawk and for the 4000 stone Buddha’s and gravestones moved from the temples of downtown Tokyo during WW2.

This gem has development plans and will soon be destroyed and lost forever. The Mayor of Inagi and the Governor of Tokyo need to understand that our survival and their peoples well being depend on saving even the tiniest of mountains. I beg the people of Japan to take serious action to notify these political officials that their role is to listen to the people and the peoples health is at stake.

Please contact Ageta Saori saoripeacejp@yahoo.co.jp to organize - any action is applauded by the billions around the world who, like you, are fighting one battle at a time to secure a diverse and globally sustainable future.

Another way to get actively involved is with the RH2 Network promoting renewable Hydrogen energy. They are a driven group of young, fun people.  They can be reached at http://www.RH2.org.  or contact Halu at halu@greenz,jp who is involved with both Greenz and RH2.

I also met with the active group Greenz Japan.  They organize monthly Green drinks along with the global community of young greens.  This is an awesome night out where you can meet amazing people all being green in their own right, and this is a global event and happens everywhere, even in Toronto so Check out what’s next at http://www.greenz.jp
