Kokusaijin Award Winners for 2009:

(L-R) Santiago Herrera (Cultural Services), Chris Flynn (Community Service), Mies Heerma (Environment Teku Teku ), with Fukuoka Now Publisher Nick Szasz

Here a little part of my speech:

First of all a big Thanks to Fukuoka Now
all of those who helped me out and voted for me!

I'd like to quote Al Gore by saying;
There are a lot of people who are going straight from denial to despair
without pausing at the intermediate step of actually doing something.

Teku Teku = the sound of footsteps
The step of actually doing something.
Eat less meat refuse that plastic bag ride your bicycle etc
All those little steps are very important!

A Happy Green 2009 !!!

Teku Teku 2008 year of monthly eco movies.
Teku Teku 2009 year of personal challenges.

Teku Teku Resolutions for 2009

1.
To take on monthly personal environmental challenges.
In January I started trying NOT TO USE PLASTIC BAGS at all.
If I do I will have to donate 100 yen to an environmental charity.

Every time I have the feeling I am doing well with my goals I will add another, so possibly (the max) I will have accumulated 12 goals by December. Goals like:
- not buying anything in a convenient store
- not eating meat.
Why don’t you join me in this ?

2.
Besides these eco challenges we will work on the Teku Teku Tree Project.
A moving tree to start the discussion about the environment.

3.
Try to improve and promote the 2008 eco movies.
Please forward them to friends !
