A photo was sent from China

A photo was sent from China.

Last summer, in China, a seminar about Japanese wastewater treatment technology was held. I was an instructor. This was an online seminar using internet web system. So, I stayed in my office in Japan, while in the seminar.

My face was on the screen like this. However, I feel my face stiffened. I guess I’ll have to make a fine smile.

After a long time, I worked in Takayama city. We are making a final report about water quality inspection of a dam lake in this city.

Eco action 21 audition

Last week, I audited about Eco action 21.

Although the Eco action 21 is less famous than ISO, recently a lot of SMEs got the warrant about Eco action 21 in Japan because it’ s easy to prepare some systems or documents and audition fee is not expensive.

I have a license of auditor of the Eco action 21.

Near Nagoya station, there is the SME to which I visited for audited about Eco action 21.

It was a trading company which deals some aircraft materials. Establishing the environmental management system, compliance of environmental laws and ecological activities are all good performance.

After audition, on the way to Nagoya station, I saw Nanachan doll that is a symbol of Nagoya. She is always fashionable and put colorful mask on her face.
