If there were more trees in the cities and less concrete then such silly accessories wouldn't be necessary.

Posted in: Japan joins int'l anti-soot and methane campaign See in context

Well, there's hardly any wood burning stoves in Japan, but I'd like to see all of those soot-emitting diesel dump trucks around Japan retooled. They are too loud and too dirty. I wonder if joining this campaign will result in any positive changes like that. Isn't biodiesel cleaner than regular diesel? Perhaps those dump trucks should be required to use alternative fuels such as cooking grease.

How about spending $1.1 million dollars instead on planting new trees? If that tree dies then sections of it could be auctioned off to raise money for reconstruction. $1.1 million dollars is too much to spend on any one tree.

Forget about training the next generation of human workers, for this is task for robots.

Shocking. Who would buy fish or anything from Fukushima? Who in their right mind would want to fish down there either? The central government should help relocate the fishermen and their families (and i guess everyone else too) to safer parts of Japan. The nuclear crisis even it over yet.

I say forego all nuclear power and learn to live with less electricity for a while. The people of Fukushima probably agree with that.

Posted in: Calls made for bicycles to have number plates See in context

Number plates are for vehicles with engines, not bicycles. Every country in the world agrees with that. If Japan wants safer roads for cyclists, they need to realize that only dedicated cycling lanes will achieve that. Imagine all the extra bureaucracy that will be necessary when purchasing a bicycle. Oh, it's a scheme for the central government to make more tax money off of its citizens. Now I get it.

Posted in: World No Tobacco Day See in context

Yes, I've also considered smokers weak people. Japan is still a smoker's paradise, so I'd rather stay at home and enjoy a meal there than have to breathe in second-hand smoke. It is horrible how Japan encourages children to smoke through product placement, not asking for ID, and advertising aimed at youth. Another of Japan's many problems.

Posted in: Gov't seeks 20% cut in electricity use in central, western Japan See in context

That's an easy target. Start with all the advertising, such as the huge outdoor monitors and sound systems in every Japanese city, and turn off unnecessary lighting everywhere, such as the super-bright store interiors (convenience stores etc.) Change all your home lightbulbs to LEDs and turn off the electrical breaker for any room or rooms that aren't in use. Most importantly, adopt a permanent two hour Daylight Saving Time because sunrise here is at 4:00 a.m. in the summer. A later sunset equals less electrical use for lights and more. Why are the Japanese so against that?

Posted in: Gov't, NPA look at ways to improve road safety for children See in context

1) make truck routes to keep them away from roads with schools. 2) more cycling roads. 3) Make all those narrow streets in Japan one way roads. 4) make all sidewalks in busy areas have real guard rails to protect against idiot drivers. (little poles connected by one little chain does not to protect a life from a car or truck.) 5) don't let epileptics get drivers' licenses. 6) move all the schools off of busy roads. 7) build more elevated pedestrian road bridges. 8) enforce stopping at red lights. 9) encourage children to be home-schooled. 10) close down school zones to all traffic before and after school. and that's just the start......
