Youngsters Learn From Japan How To Care For Environment

[Nisa]

Kids ARE the future. Every good move starts with very small steps. I also think Toyota have taken on environmental issues seriously as a sales tool. They have reduced emissions from their vehicles substantially over the years so I would think the 'awards' may be more motivated as a PR exercise however, it is not getting much coverage other than a small write up here.

I really agree with you that kids are not only the future but every effort to help, however small is worth the effort. However, what ever is done will get the usual kicking from TV experts. Anyone have any idea how we can persuade the negative mindsets to become positive?

Another positive story to bring out the doom and gloom brigade. It seems for some every silver lining must have a cloud and that is just sad. Even more sad that it is so unThai to have this kind of attitude and the people who often have it act as though they understand Thailand the most.

As for the OP ... good job kids, good job Toyota and great job to all involved with the Stop Global Warming Project for opening they eyes of the youth to something worthwhile.

Are you guys joined at the waist ? I don't see any of your so called Doom and Gloom brigade here until you evoked them !

Obviously you didn't read the any of the posts before the above comments.

It's merely "Thai fluff." There is no substance in Thailand.

I have been involved with Planet Ark for almost 15 years doing tree planting around Sydney and Planet Ark has Toyota as a major sponser of those events. Now i realise that cars are major polluters but at least this company is putting money back into repairing the envirionment ( plus it does get bebifits tax wise and publicity) but it still helps kids and the general public understand about envirionmental issues.

It is also one of the major companies developing newer and less polluting forms of vehicular transport with its hybrid electical /oil fuel range. It seems to be a triffle more than most and as much as i am concerned about the envirionment i also like my motor trasport .

It may not be much but at least it is a start.

They will certainly learn more in Japan than the kids at one of our local high schools, the pile of stinking garbage they have chucked over the wall into the river has to be seen to be believed.

Still trying to work out a way to shame them for it.
