Japan for Sustainability

Japan for Sustainability (JFS, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa-ken, Japan; Co-Representatives, Junko Edahiro and Hiroyuki Tada), is an NGO that provides an open platform for communication on environmental issues. Its "JFS Sustainability Indicators" can now be viewed through the medium of the "see-it^TM" sustainability communication tool offered by a Canadian company, Visible Strategies (Vancouver, Canada; President, Colin Grant). We hope to evoke discussion about how to build a sustainable society by visually presenting where Japan should be by 2050 and possible routes to that future as well as our present situation.

Japan for Sustainability (JFS) is pleased to announce a milestone reached on March 14, 2008, when it posted the 2,000th article on its website since inception.
