It’s Christmas – One More Reason Japan Can Not Meet It’s Kyoto Protocol Goals

It must be Christmas. And all through the Japanese house, nobody is worried about meeting Kyoto Protocol Goals.

Here’s yet another example -

Visitors can be seen wandering through the Kobe Luminarie in central Kobe.

The event, which will run through Dec 15, apparently has been held annually since 1996.

The event is staged in memory of the victims of the 1995 Great Hanshin Earthquake and to commemorate reconstruction efforts of Kobe and its vicinity.

Maybe the best way to memorialize the victims would be for Japan to honor its Kyoto Protocol.

Here is the Caretta OCEAN Christmas 2008 at Shiodome in Tokyo.

This illumination goes from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. through Dec 25.

Got to admit, it sure looks pretty, eh?
