Does your college have a B.A. in Sustainability? IPOS, the Intensive Program on Sustainability is an educational course on global sustainability in Asia. This course stared in 2004, looking at Asia as the key region in achieving global sustainability:

Wow. Take a deep breath. New car sales in Japan has dropped 13.1 percent to the lowest level for October, 2008 in 40 years. The Japan Automobile Dealers Association says 233,922 vehicles other than mini-cars were sold in October, a decline for the third straight month.

I liked this cartoon by High Moon over at Japan for Sustainability. I never thought about it quite this way before. Ranking the 3 Rs in order of importance, they give Reduce the first place, followed by Reuse and a third place for Recycle. Or should they all rank the same?

JFS also has a cute website for kids, called Create Your Future. Do have a look!...
