June is Environment Month
In commemoration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, which was held in Stockholm from June 5, 1972, the United Nations has designated June 5 as World Environment Day. In Japan, the Basic Environmental Law (1993) defines June 5 as "Environment Day" and June including this day is designated as "Environment Month." As Motoichi, taking advantage of this Environment Month, citizens, companies, schools, governments, etc. think again about environmental issues together and push forward spread enlightenment about the environment so that they can lead to future actions.
