Japan for Sustainability(JFS) is a non-profit communication platform to disseminate environmental information from Japan to the world, with the aim of helping both move onto a sustainable path.

In the JAPAN AND GLOBAL WARMING section of the previous newsletter #003, "methane 40 percent" should be "methane 20 percent" and it should read;

One characteristic of Japan's emissions is that the percentage of carbon dioxide is very high in comparison to the world average composition of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide 60 percent, methane 20 percent, nitric monoxide 6 percent, CFCs and halons 14 percent) (Source: IPCC The Third Report).

ANNOUNCEMENT

After issuing the newsletter #002, we received a request on more details on household environmental accounting. We translated and put in on our website for your reference.
