The campaign cooperates with global warming prevention activities in the control of exhaust emission caused by unnecessary engine idling during engine warm up or vehicle parking and stopping. June and November are special campaign months, when signboards are put up at each of the main gates, and stickers are distributed in the company and among privately owned cars for promoting the campaign. In November last year, leaflets were also distributed to trucks and taxis entering the premises, asking for cooperation with the campaign. Since vehicles also consume gasoline and light oil, and emit carbon dioxide, the amount of the carbon dioxide can be decreased by not idling the engine when not necessary and conserving fuel.
Many people believe that the global warming problem has begun taking the turn towards a solution.
In fact, however, effective measures are yet to be advanced, while the amount of the greenhouse effect gases have been increasing steadily. Last year 22 wheelchairs were donated to social welfare organizations in Hiroshima Prefecture and Hofu City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, for a total of 100 since 1995. The recipients have been extremely pleased and thankful for the wheelchairs every year, and hope that the donations of beneficial wheelchairs will continue. Since we hope to donate as many wheelchairs as possible this year, too, we ask you to offer postcards and telephone cards sitting around the house.
