Whilst the Japanese love of excessive product packaging is hardly easy on the environment, recycling on the other hand is taken quite seriously, with many cities producing mind-boggling monthly schedules for garbage disposal. The powers that be continually changing them to possibly keep people on their toes and at the same time utterly bamboozle the elderly.
Yet just like practically every other service or public body in Japan, saving the planet inevitably needs a cute character for promotional purposes, with energetic Earth-kun earnestly entering the fray. Although that said, the little chap’s cap-cum-air-conditioner might be deemed somewhat counterproductive.
