Looking back upon this year

 A few days passing, this year is going to end. So, I tried to look back upon this year. I learned many things in environmenttal ethics class. Specially, I'm intrested in food mile. Today we eat many foreign foods without we know where the food came from. It's said that the foreign foods are very cheap, but we shouldn't forget a lot CO2 are emitted buring transportation. It's clear that domestic foods are better for environment than foreign foods. After I learded it, I changed my shopping style. When I go shopping, I try to buy domestic foods.
I leaned many things in this class. It's very important things for me and us. I wanna study more things, and make use of it.

CSR

I learned CSR at last week class. Before the class, I didn't know it. So I reserched it on PC. And I knew many companies do CSR. For example, CALPIS planted climbing plants around the factories. The climbing plants cuts off sunshine. And when the wind blows, the climbing plants changes it cool wind. And CALPIS also changed the way of their transportation. Formerly, CALPIS transported their productions by car. But cars emits a lot CO2. So CALPIS transports their products by train or ship. The quantity of emitted CO2 by ship is one-forth, and the quantity of train is one-seventh.
I think CSR is very great movement. We can't stop operation of factory, because we must make money. So I think we can say that the environment is being destroyed as well as we alive. So we should do CSR at least.

classification of garbage

I was  surprised at my friend's classification of garbage when I saw the scene my friend throw away garbage. He threw garbage away without classification. In my hometown Nagano, we must classify garbage when we throw away garbage. For example, combustible and incombustible, can, glass, and so on. So, I was very surprised at my friends action. In my opinion,wakayama people doesn't classify garbage. I think classification is very good for environment. If we throw away plastic production, many CO2 are emitted. So, I think people should classify garbage more, and the administrations should force people to classify garbage strictly. Classification is very small thing, but it's very important action.
