Message
Greeting
During my university years, I majored in forest biology at the Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Forest Science. There, I learned that forests play a role in absorbing carbon dioxide and mitigating global warming.
Environmental issues such as global warming often manifest their effects at locations far removed in both distance and time. As a result, the entities creating the causes rarely take measures as their own problem to find solutions.
However, these effects sometimes manifest as very serious consequences. People affected by weather disasters caused by warming are different from those who created the causes. This is not a fair society.
I established Green Rights Law with the desire to solve environmental problems not only through individual awareness reform but also by changing social systems and structures.
