Environmental protection is an important task not only for Japan but also for the whole world. Led by the Japanese government, Japanese people are making great efforts for environmental protection.

The price of the convenience of modern life is the generation of a lot of waste. Japan has made great progress in cutting down the amount of waste and recycling used products. The recycling of cans and plastic bottles is especially well established in Japan.
