NPR’s David Kestenbaum has been doing a series on Morning Edition about Japanese effort to keep up with the Kyoto Protocols

This morning’s piece is about internal temperatures; men in certain government ministries have actually stopped wearing ties to work.

Here’s yesterday’s piece; we’ll post a link to today’s piece- about office temperatures, and clothing, today when NPR posts its links.  Kestenbaum points out in today’s piece that this inititative adds up to only one-tenth of one percent of Japan’s Kyoto targets. On the other hand, 999 other efforts would make 100%. And efforts that make you physically aware, all day - may have persuasive value greater than that of less-visible schemes.
