In order to solve environmental issues,
it is important for each citizen to deepen their awareness and act on their own.
This is why Sendai City aggressively promotes the Sendai City Environmental Education
and Learning Plan. |
| |
Sendai City conducts Social Experiments
on the Environment, which focus on everyday environmental problems. These experiments
strengthen the networks comprised of individuals, NPOs and companies. In FY 2003,
the city is implementing experiments such as the Bamboo Light Corridor Tour project,
which recycles bamboo used in the Sendai Tanabata Festival, and the Sendai Stadium
Waste Reduction plan. |
| |
The Sendai Eco Challenge program
motivates people to try to conserve energy and recycle at their homes. The program
uses check sheets divided into beginner, intermediate, and expert levels so people
can easily develop an environment-friendly lifestyle.

| The bamboo used in the Tanabata Festival were cut into 40cm long pieces and recycled into candle-lit bamboo lanterns that decorated the banks of the Hirose-gawa River. Afterwards, the lanterns were recycled once more into bamboo charcoal. |
