The public lecture will introduce the history, educational impact, cooperation with the stakeholders, problems faced, current situation for environmental education and nature conservation with specific focus on “Firefly” which has been carried out by a volunteer group at Nagareyama City in Japan.
The second part of the lecture will be focusing on solid waste management issues.
