held in Tokyo Bigsite from Dec 10 through Dec 12 was really interesting to see around from educational point of view for eco-products made in Japan.
Japanese Prime Minister and Democratic Party leader Yukio Hatoyama announced 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 from 1919 levels, and urged tacitly other major countries in the world to follow in order to fight against global warming effects.
In order to achieve the goal, 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 from 1919 levels, it would require strict regulations on greenhouse gas emissions and consequently require tremendous amount of sacrifices for industry secotrs, and causing an adverse effect on the economy.
On the other hand, there are arguments that this will cause positive effects on entire economy saying that many corporations compete to invent eco-products that has technological superiority for every aspects of industries, and Japan is considered to be one of the best as far as invention of energy saving technologies. Many Japanese corporations spend their R&D cost for inventing new type of eco-products.
In mid May the Japanese Government has also launched a stimulus package to boost the demand for energy efficient household appliances with a new eco-points system which also help economy grow positively.
