The Eco-Products 2008 exhibition will be held this week at the Tokyo International Exhibition Center. Eco-Products is one of the largest green events in Japan to show all kinds of green products and services to the public, and expects to have 750 exhibitors and 170 thousands visitors. Even though the event name is Eco-Products, you will see the green services, green business and lifestyle ideas as well as latest eco products by variety of exhibitors, including businesses, NGOs, NPOs, government organizations, student organizations etc. The theme of this 10th annual event is “We Can Do it! Eco-Lifestyle with a 50% CO2 Reduction.” The event is organized by Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry (JEMAI) and Nikkei Inc.
Eco-Products 2008 is the three-day event and free to the public. If you are in the neighborhood, you may want to check the event out to see what Japan is up to in the green movement. Those of you are not anywhere near Tokyo, don’t worry. I will report the events and post here in coming days.

Eco Products, Green event? Yet slaughtering dolphins and also whales in sanctuaries? NOT interested, thank you.
WAUW…But still going on with butchering beautiful ocean species like whales, dolphins… I don’t buy your stuff until you stop with your bloody slaughter of innocent animals. You get NO money out of my pocket!!
Dear Suzanna van der Voort and Marlize Albers,
I appreciate your support of ethical treatment of marine mammals and responsible management of ocean ecosystems. I also share with you the philosophy that voting with our money is an effective means of bringing about environmentally responsible corporate actions. However, I believe that your angry comments are misplaced and potentially offensive to Mr. Yokoyama, who is surely involved in being the change he wishes to see. Moreover, one government policy that we may disagree with does not void the potential environmental accomplishments of all persons, companies, or government bodies of Japan. If that were true, we could also discount the accomplishments of every nation since there are no ecological utopias. We need look no farther than the success Japan’s had in making hybrid cars popular in North America to understand the positive contributions of Japan toward the ability of us all to live more sustainably.
Sincerely,
Gavin Hudson

Keep going Japan!
Some people think how bad Japan slaughter dolphine and whales, but i personally think why only Japa? why everyone keeps sweareing how bad Japan just because of it. Many countries also have killed so many animals. i’m just trying to say to the poeple that don’t be blind because of one thing! think about others! it might be your own country. Well let me explain some countries which has slaughetr/killed many animals that is not supposed to be killed. In china, they kill so many/much dogs with cdruelty. In Australia they kill som many Kangaroos. Well that’s the same thing. Kangaroos, kangaroo s are only lives in Australia, they might be a lot of kangaroos inAustralia, but how about other countries? Dogs. dogs are actualoly people’ friends, why wuold we kill dogs? well if some of the dog keep attacking people, we should consider how we have to prevent that. BUt why do they kill or even eat them?
YOu might not notice that most of us have killed so many animals by living with using green house gasses. Some animals are becoming endanhgered, especially Polar animals. Isn’t it our fault? jsut using the small amount of energy taht produce carbon emission individually could effect the climate and will then lead into the death for the animals.
Well, i’m just trying to givbe the idea of it and it’s all up to you people whethe ryouare agree with the eco products or not, but remember these eco products or any eco products could help to at least tery to stop producing more carbon emission/green house gasses. and it’s up to you people for how you think, but at least try to think more widely with your own consideration/opinions.
