blog action day 09 : climate change
What can we do for environment? Well, many companies are advertising that they are trying to reduce CO2.
Anyway, I'm doing 3 things.
1: use bicycle
I'm using bicycle. And I'm planning to buy new bicycle. Now eco-friendly car buyers receive tax credit and subsidy. But cars emit CO2 and not so good to environment, I felt. For bicycle buyers, there's no subsidy and tax credit... But this is better for environment. Not to use taxi and bus. And I'm trying to use bicycle and train.
2: not to use plastic bags
I think, plastic bags are the most unnecessary thing. Most of us have their own bags. And there's many shops that they are over packaging items. I don't want such over packages.
3: turn off items that not using
I'm trying to turn off unnecessary electronic goods. I think, this action will also reduce my power rate... Good for environment and my wallet.
There's more actions that we can do for environment. We should introduce these ideas to our life. So, this is my action on blog action day. What will you post today?
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

one day
On 26th, August, I got an e-mail that about blog action day 09. Last year, I first joined blog action day. I think, I posted an article that about poverty last year. If you have a time, please check that one too...
So, this is my second time to join blog action day. Since I got the mail, I was thinking about this year’s post. The theme is climate change. Sometimes I posted about climate change on my blog but these days I didn’t post article that about climate change I felt. Then this might be good chance to post about climate change.
Japan’s new prime minister declared that Japan will reduce 25% CO2 compared to 1990 level by 2020. I think, this is very good chance to post about climate change tomorrow. I will post about my eco-friendly actions tomorrow. But I’m not good at writing English so, it might be difficult to understand... Sorry for my poor English...
Anyway, have you registered for blog action day 09?
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Brushing someone's teeth
When I was watching movie, I heard this song first time. After I watched the movie, I replayed it to listen to that song again. (I was watching the movie on DVD) And after that, I used 'shazam' to check the song name and band name.
They were anonymass and the song name was 'still life'. I browsed iTunes store to download that song. But there's no anonymass on iTunes store... So I tried to find them on amazon.co.jp. And I found their song on amazon.co.jp.
I ordered it as soon as I can buy it on amazon.co.jp. I played the CD as soon as I got the CD. Then I found there's the sound that someone is brushing his (or her) teeth. I've never listened such music. But it's too far out and really nice, I felt. If you have a time, please check their sound.
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

tumbler
Sometimes, I go to Starbucks coffee house. Of course, I can’t go there everyday because the price at Starbucks coffee is not cheap... If I can, I want to go to Starbucks every morning. But mostly I drip coffee at home...
Mostly I go there with book that I’m reading. I love to read a book there with a cup of coffee. I like music, aroma of coffee at Starbucks coffee. But I don’t like noisy customer there. Usually, I don’t bring my tumbler but sometimes I bring my tumbler. I think, this is a good news for me...
Starbucks coffee Japan is now in campaign called “Bring My Cup”. During this campaign we can drink every drinks there with 50 yen discount. But we need to bring our tumbler. Usually, they offer a cup of coffee with 20 yen discount if we bring our tumbler. But until 3rd, November, we can get more discount...
I heard this campaign have started since last week. But.... I couldn’t go there until today. I hope I can go there with my tumbler until 3rd, November.
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

After the storm
Finally, all classes that I’m taking have canceled because of typhoon No.18. Most of trains and shinkansens stopped because of this. And some of them delayed. Strong and large typhoon No.18 hit Japan. But now it’s sunny and hot. I think, the temperature increased more than 5 degrees today.
I think, there’s no problems around my house. The trains have restarted now. Strong winds and heavy rain stopped. The clouds are moving quickly and black clouds are disappearing. There’s leaves and toppled bicycles.
But there’s some damages I heard. According to the news, the tornado hit Ibaraki prefecture. More than 2,000,000 people needed to wait or give up for using train in Tokyo area because most of trains in Tokyo stopped. If the classes haven’t canceled today, I might wait long time to ride train... I don’t have to wait long time at platform today but I might have make-up classes at the beginning of winter holidays...
Anyway, typhoon No.18 is still in Tohoku area (東北地方) in Japan. This might effect to more people... And I have one more worry. The earthquake that hit Vanuatu this morning. I heard the earthquake hit Vanuatu but there’s no news about this... They are broadcasting only about typhoon No.18...
Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!
