Laurie David comments on Japan’s decision to adopt “casual summer” in order to fight global warming:
The very next day, the New York Times ran an article about the chairman of Toyota Motor, Japan’s largest company, bucking tradition in the name of reducing global warming — announcing that all Toyota employees are to leave their business suits and ties at home this summer in anticipation of rising temperatures. No suits = less air conditioning = less energy burned = reduced global warming gases. The Japanese government has also adopted “no necktie, no jacket” summertime policy.
It’s simple, ingenious, brave, and practical.
“Brave”?
