| Introduction | Through original activities that are fun to take part in and short movies (max 1 minute) I am trying to get people interested in doing something positive for the environment. |
| Interests | OUR HISTORY: November 2005 I (Mies Heerma) started the project with writing an article in a local magazine called Fukuoka Now. In the article the idea for a car-free Daimyo was presented There was quite some attention for the idea and turned into a project called Teku Teku Daimyo. Besides trying to get Daimyo or a part of Daimyo car free, the project now also focused on preserving the unique atmosphere of the area. With, “Daimyo-Walks”, “Daimyo-Photoshoots”, meetings, radio interviews, newspaper articles and our own website we tried to achieve our goal. At the end of 2007 I realized that the project was too difficult for me to handle and at this point of time and I didn’t feel I was making much progress. In 2008 I decided to change my approach and make monthly movies with an ECO theme. Beside that we organized events; Beach cleanings, No Junkmail sticker competition, Bicycle promotion event. Critical Mass ( Bicycle parade for bicycle lanes) Movie showings, and joined the music events Isla de Salsa and Sunset Live. |
| Favorite books | WHAT CAN YOU DO ? The monthly goals I am suggesting are both good for the environment as for ourselves. Little by little, step by step we can work on a better environment while having a good time.
