Before a country was "impressive" by how much money and power they have. But common that's like so last decade. It's who's greener now!

Here here, cerealforreal.
It's a step in the right direction. You wouldn't push over a toddler who's just learning to walk would you...let them get their walk sorted, you never know, they might even break out into a jog...

if you think about its realy not that hard to do this, you can reduce your carbon foot print by 1.5 tons of co2 a year by not eating meat. Try riding the bus its not that bad.

Japan and her people have been an inspiration to me for their creative invention in ways to solve environmental issues. They truly are the world leaders in this purpose.

This is a good thing that Japan is doing but... by 2050? Isn't that a little late considering what position the climate is in now?

Good Point Keith! I almost seems like a joke as by them we all could be dead. I want the right here and right now today's action! What they are doing Today to abate Pollution! Not some gradual killing measure!

It is sad that the US has passed up the opportunity to step up and lead in something so important. While the US waits for China and India to do something, and they wait for the US to do something, Japan and Europe will be leading the way in policy, innovation and action.

Maybe japan will start the trend, since all america knows is how to follow trends and set bad ones.
