Today, we listened to Hari Srinivas, Ph. D., from the United Nations Environment Program talk about Education for Sustainable Development. As I have encountered, discussed, and listened to many people in Japan I feel like there is an increasing drive for sustainable development. Japan wants to reach out to many countries to establish networks so they can collaborate to limit the ecological footprint of people. They are not perfect, but there seems to be the general attitude that there is a problem and it needs to be addressed. The Kyoto Protocol is one example of the leadership that Japan has shown to increase environmental education.
Many of the Japanese people have questioned the United States commitment to environmental education for sustainable development. I am curious, what do you think?
What are your perceptions regarding the environment and the United States?
Are we doing our part to limit waste?
Do we focus on sustainability?
Are we trying limit our ecological footprint?
