Innovative Ideas Wanted!
--"Cool the Earth Idea Contest"
Deadline is approaching! (September 5th (Wed.), 2007)

With the aim of curbing global warming as much as possible and keeping the earth "cool", Eco Business Creation Association, in cooperation with JFS and NTT Resonant Inc., is calling for ideas from around the world for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Based on the innovative ideas we receive, prototype projects will be conducted in Japan to establish models for reducing emissions. The results of these projects will be reported to the global community in the hope that this will promote further innovation towards reducing CO2 emissions.

The first-prize winner will be invited to Eco Products 2007 Exhibition in Tokyo, the Japan's largest eco-related exhibition. http://www.japanfs.org/en/jfs/event/eco-pro2006/report2006.html
