Event Description
Edo period of Japan, from 1600 to 1868, was a time in
which Japan was closed to the outside world. No
significant amount of material came in or went out
and the only input was solar energy. They had a highly
vibrant culture and sustained a fairly large population
and even improved the environment based on the
solar energy alone. Hence, this is a small scale model
of the Earth which is closed materially and has only
solar energy input. We will discuss how they did it and
why they could do it.
Eiichiro Ochiai, PhD, taught and conducted research in
chemistry at universities in Japan, Canada, United
States, Sweden and Germany. Since retiring he has
been involved in the peace and sustainability
movements.
Co-sponsored by Langara College Continuing Studies and Village Vancouver. Offered as part of Langara's Summer School on Building Community.
