ABSTRACT
A team of US and Japanese experts are finishing a two year project, funded by
The Japan Foundation, which is intended to address the following questions:
- --What are the operating principles of a Sustainable Society?
- --What are the implications for the US and Japan?
- --As world economic leaders, how can the US and Japan start to provide an
example for the rest of the World?
Using energy use and GHG concerns as a surrogate, what would we need to do to
start to move toward sustainability over the next few decades? There are no
simple answers and there will be ample time for discussion about the major
trade-offs involved. Does materialism equate with quality of life?
We invite you to bring your lunch. Light refreshment will be provided.
