5.5 Environmental Concerns

Kagawa Prefecture is blessed with a rich natural environment, from the myriad beautiful islands of the Seto Inland Sea, to the green of the mountains in the Sanuki Range, to the ponds and groves dotting the Sanuki Plain. It is our responsibility to pass on that which has been handed down to us in this, our irreplaceable home.
The prefecture strives to maintain the environment through a variety of policies, including measures targeting pollution and illegal dumping. Climate change prevention initiatives take place at the local level, too, with the promotion of energy saving both at home and in the office, and suggestions for savings in daily life. The prefecture is also examining the possibility of assigning responsibility for climate change policies to individual workers.
We believe that it is important to build a recycling-oriented society, and to promote a local culture in which every citizen recycles at home and at work in order to tread more lightly on the earth.
