Green Okinawa is a community effort to be more environmentally friendly in Okinawa.
It is spearheaded by the OIST Resource Center team and volunteers. The series is full of practical information to help people to reduce greenhouse gases and protect our planet from climate change. Your know-how about being environmentally friendly in Okinawa and information about green initiatives on the island will help us develop more Green Okinawa posts. Reach out to resourcecenter@oist.jp to share your know-how with us and get involved in writing a post.
