SUMMARY:Edo Period of Japan as a Model of Sustainable Society
DESCRIPTION:Edo period of Japan, from 1600 to 1868, was a time in\nwhi
 ch Japan was closed to the outside world. No\nsignificant amount of ma
 terial came in or went out\nand the only input was solar energy. They 
 had a highly\nvibrant culture and sustained a fairly large population\
 nand even improved the environment based on the\nsolar energy alone. H
 ence, this is a small scale model\nof the Earth which is closed materi
 ally and has only\nsolar energy input. We will discuss how they did it
  and\nwhy they could do it.\nEiichiro Ochiai, PhD, taught and conducte
 d research in\nchemistry at universities in Japan, Canada, United\nSta
 tes, Sweden and Germany. Since retiring he has\nbeen involved in the p
 eace and sustainability\nmovements.\n\nCo-sponsored by Langara College
