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.

As announced in the previous JFS newsletter, we just have set up a page of links on our website for visitors to obtain English versions of environmental (sustainability) reports of Japanese companies. Now we have links to JFS's corporate member companies and the links will be expanded in the future to include a majority of about the 100 companies who have English versions of environmental (sustainability) reports. http://www.japanfs.org/en/business/reports.html

We hope you enjoyed this issue of the JFS Newsletter. We will be delivering more information every month from Japan on activities and developments in the field of the environment. Please visit our website for the latest news! http://www.japanfs.org/ And please send your comments or requests to us at info@japanfs.org.

Here is one comment we received from a reader in Canada:

Hi
Just wanted to say thanks for the continued updates on what is going on in Japan. It is good to see actual steps being taken. Canada unfortunately talks too much. We do have things happening, but from the inside it seems to take forever to get things actually done. Keep up the great work.

Are the regenerative bicycles successful? It seems that we haven't been doing it before because the return was so small due to the lack of inertia (light weight) issue. I was never sure this was valid because it is also a light weight issue for driving it....
Cheers

Our response:
Thank you for your note. It is always encouraging to hear how people view our activities. I will forward your note to all volunteer staff.

The regenerative bicycles we wrote in the article are less than 22.7kg in all models, according to the press release. I have not tried it yet, but when I do, I certainly would deliver my report to you! Thank you again for your interest and support for us.

We will be back next month with more news.
