■OBJECTIVES OF OUR ACTIVITIES |
What will be the world in the 21st century?
"What would be newly created from the restructuring of the global
future prospect such as the value, the principle, the economic
structure,the political concept and the political structure,
must be totally different from any prospects which anyone is
expecting today." predicted by Dr,Peter Drucker. |

Since the Soviet Union (USSR) was collapsed in 1989, America as
the only super power nation, have been globally expanding businesses in
many overseas markets based on their own standard of the economy(disregarding
others way of doing) to gain the huge profit with severe competition which
is something like a game of win or lose.
Describing the 20th century symbolically, it can be realized as the history
of so many wars,massive consumption and serious environmental deterioration.
Of course,it is a cold fact that there have been many inventions and
discoveries in many fields which make our life much more convenient than
before.
However, if and when we keep on the current life style and it's value, what will be the 21st century ? Certainly, there will be no bright future for us , if and when we keep on doing the same thing as today without the revolutionary changes in our life style.
In not so distance future, human being will fall into the very crucial
situation, if we could neither transform nor change the structure and the
style of human being life successfully.
It is extremely memorable and appreciated that NPO(Nonprofit organization)made
an excellent job to help people suffered from the tragedy of the horrible
large earthquake in the western part of Japan(Hanshin/Awaji region) happened
in 1995.
In the modern society, many people desire to voluntarily help each other
and develop the individual alliance. And they are truly looking for an
opportunity to meet their desire. But, as the present society is too much
vast and complicated, a chance for responsible people to participate into
a group which they desire, is very limited.
NPO can provide many citizens with opportunities to positively and
directly participate into the social group activities.
NPO is the very effective organization of social activities to represent
the people opinion for them who share the common concerns and interests.
Europe and America have more than 40 year history of NPO activities.
The latest data reports that America has about one million NPOs which stand for around 8% out of U.S GDP and also do about 11% out of U.S total
employment.
On the other hand,
Japan has only around 15,000 NPOs which represent only 0.02% out of Japanese GDP.
It is strongly expected that NPO whose starting -point is voluntary
goodwill of citizens, will take a very important role as the standard -bearer
of the social structure revolution, although NPO in Japan is still in the
dawn. NPO will carry the public benefits on their shoulder which are hard for the profit organization,the commercial enterprise and governments
to be able to achieve .

■OBJECTIVES OF WBF JAPAN ACTIVITIES |
The Charter of WBF JAPAN stipulates , "NPO WBF JAPAN
voluntarily makes intensive efforts to contribute to the public
benefits across the board working with citizens who play the
leading part ,accomplishing following plans.
● | Restore the deteriorated environment of the earth which has been seriously destroyed during the 20th century because of the significant changes in the life style of human being and also in the industrial structure. |
● |
People live together in the sustainable world. |
● | Encourage people for the energy saving life. |
● | Convert from the current thermal steam power using fossil fuel, hydro electric power with huge dam and nuclear power generation to renewable energy which is called GREEN ENERGY. |
● | Make a proposal of ideas and opinions of the social institute and the policies of the environment issues to the local and central Government in order to change today' situation. |
|

Based on the above charter,we have the
long term plan of activities as shown below.
Among the plan of activities,the WIND TURBINE POWER business is put on
the top priority. The wind power is the representative renewable very gentle
to the environment.We plan to build wind turbines somewhere in Japan and
/or overseas, using the local citizen's wisdom and capital. It will be
called CIVIC WINDMILL.We will be trying to build the first civic windmill
in the year of 2005 which is rather the challengeable schedule We as a
team are going to challenge to achieve it by 2005, because we can not afford
the time to be wasted even for a second.
Under the blue sky, the scene that the large and white rotors of a wind turbine rotating slowly, make people feel relaxed and comfortable. And also the scene that cattle eat glass, make our feeling being washed. The recent large size wind turbine has the length of rotors longer than 30meters and the height of the tower is higher than 60meters. The wind turbine with 1,000KW capacity meets the electric demands for about 600 families. |
Besides the plan of the wind turbine power, we have several plans as follows.
1) The collection of informations and the enlightment/education activities for the energy saving life style.
2) Research and study of renewables and saving energy and make a proposal
of ideas and opinions of the social institute and the policies of the environment issues to the local and central Government
3) Encourage people to apply for Green Energy Certification
System.
4) International collaboration with overseas NPOs
to foster the usage of renewables all over the world.
