Julia Richter's insight:
I think this is a really important article to note Japan's ability to excel in reducing emissions. It's short, quickly shares the point that due to Japan's care and support of marine ecosystems and forests, on top of other efforts as well, they were able to greatly reduce their GHG emissions throughout the year. Definitely a lesson that needs to be learned by the United States and Japan could be a great footprint to copy to reduce global emissions through all countries.

While Japan may not have met their exact target for greenhouse gas emissions, it is still impressive that they are maintaining reduced emissions compared to the past levels. It is not perfect, but Japan taking steps toward reduced emissions is better than many other countries. I hope that other countries take inspiration from this and follow their example.

Yes, I agree that the United States can definitely learn from Japan's foot print to reduce green house gas emissions. It seems that Japan is more collective and rely on high public participation due to social norms. In the United states it is harder to follow this footprint because we tend to work for incentives. This is just my opinion because I have visited Japan and saw differences in how public behavior is motivated when working collectively. In the U.S. individual choice is often prioritized and leaves us with designing policies to get the same level of participation. I am not sure if I am right about this but just a simple observation.
