2007 J.E.E. Eco-Calendar is now on sale
& available for delivery from Oct. 20th.!
-
"Okage-sama de," this year J.E.E. marks the 20th anniversary
of its foundation. This is our 16th annual eco-calendar. Over its
long historical development, Japanese society has lived in close
harmony with nature, and the Japanese language contains many guiding
expressions that reflect this.
-
The “kokoro nagomu" illustrations in this calendar are
the original “tewaza" creations of our good friend High
Moon.
-
We hope that this calendar can be used as environmental teaching
material. Since it is fully bilingual, in Japanese and English, it
can also be used for language study.
-
Unlike ordinary calendars, which
show only national holidays, this “kikubari" calendar
also features the dates of important environmental events.
-
The phases
of the moon are shown with these symbols:  Please
use them for reference when you want to enjoy “mederu" stargazing.
-
You
can mark your recycling collection days, community clean-up dates,
volunteer activities or meetings on this calendar, “osusowake." We
have provided a space in the April page for you to jot a reminder
note for Earth Day activities.
-
Once again, we have taken the printing
process into consideration, “hodo-hodo-ni." This
year's calendar was printed using natural energy generated by wind
power on recycled paper (70% post-consumer), with soy ink.
-
If you'd
like to be more eco-active, but don't know where to begin, we hope
that this calendar provides some “otentou-sama" inspiration
and ideas to put into action.
-
We sincerely hope that world peace can
be achieved in 2007, through “tsumugu" of
thought and actions.

it makes a great Christmas gift!
