J.E.E. Eco-Calendar 2013 --Happy Taste of Slow Food--

This is the 22nd J.E.E. calendar.

Everyone craves affluence and convenience, without questioning the uniformity of fast food, neglecting the most important aspect of eating. However, food culture is our heritage, developed over hundreds and thousands of years in coexistence with nature. We at JEE think happiness is truly more important than GNP. Through slow food we can continue to think about what happiness is. We hope from our hearts for the 7 billion inhabitants of this planet Earth to all enjoy the happiness of eating well every day, so in this year's calendar our theme is once again food.

J.E.E. stands for Japan Environmental Exchange. It is a citizens' non-profit organization dedicated to environmental education. J.E.E. disseminates information on environmental issues and carries out international exchanges between people working for the environment. In addition to publishing our annual Eco-Calendar, J.E.E. also publishes and distributes High Moon's GOMIC, eco-cartoon book series, as well as his book of essays and cartoons about the environment, Picturecology.
We also put out a monthly information sheet, hold Green English classes and discussions, perform an original environmental puppet theater that stars the "Eco-neko".
