In the January 2005 issue of the JFS Newsletter:

- "Unique NGOs in Japan" Article Series: No.8
Re-confirming Relationships among People, the Community and the Earth--the Regional Circulation Network

- Toward a Sustainable Japan - Corporations at Work Article Series No.22: People, automobiles and nature in harmonious coexistence (Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.)

[CORRECTION]

In "The Fate of Discarded Personal Computers in Japan" article that appeared in our December 2004 newsleter, we reported that "the number of PCs being discarded is expected to continue increasing toward a total of about eight tons a year." The actual amount is 80,000 tons a year. We apologize for this mistake and any confusion it might have caused.
