Japan: The Least Eco-Minded City

We all know that a lot of cities in the world today have a lot to learn and do to be able to cope up with the eco-friendly measures that are being required to combat global warming. But you will be surprised at how this city would come from a country that is known to be at the forefront of it all… Japan.
Japan has long been known as a vital contributor towards contraptions and gadgets that help combat global warming and apparently they have forgotten to implement these measures on their own turf. Call it an act of being tactless, this is simply a big blow considering that people of a leading country where most green technology originates is the one who does not even give a hoot about global warning.
Japan may be at the cutting edge of green technologies, but its capital has the least environmentally conscious residents of eight of the world’s richest cities, a poll showed.
More than four in 10 Tokyo residents — 41.6 percent — said they “don’t want to sacrifice a convenient lifestyle to prevent global warming,” according to the poll results published recently by Japanese advertising agency Hakuhodo.
