Eco-lifestyle with 50% Reduction of CO2

The main theme for this year’s Eco-Products is to reduce 50% CO2 from daily lifestyle.
CO2-50%

As you may know, the greenhouse gas emission is great problem and source that contributes to global warming. To cool down our Earth, we must cut down 50% of CO2 exhaustion by 2050.

This may seem difficult, but it can be reached by changing our everyday lifestyles. For example, we use many electronic products in our daily life. By using new energy-saving electronic devises, we can save a lot more energy than before.

(here is example from last year)

Japanese companies have advanced technologies to manufacture energy saving products. The oil shock in 1973 led to people’s concerns about energy issues. The Japanese government carried out a policy to call for people and companies to save energy. This led to Japan’s advanced technologies. You will be able to see and feel their latest technologies and goods at the Eco-Products Exhibition.

Of course, the exhibition itself is also working on CO2 reduction. The electricity used in the exhibition is all covered by “green electricity”(which is generated by wind power and biomass energy). All the scraps from the exhibition that are recyclable will be recycled. The Eco-Products is aiming for an environmentally friendly exhibition.

If you are interested, come to the exhibition and see what you can do to live an eco-life!
