- Of course the Japanese have probably the worst environmental
- record of the indstrialized nations: they hunt whales, overfish
- the oceans, completely wipe out hardwood forests, dump poisonous
- junk in their rivers etc. Environmentally they are as bad as they
- come.

- cleaning up their mess worldwide?
