Japan is the man

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi announced his new policy to help ease global warming. His plan: No suits in the summer months. Businesses have been asked to cut down on air conditioning and increase office temperatures from 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. He's hoping to help the country meet its Kyoto targets and lower greenhouse gases, but word is the Japanese aren't too keen on coming to work in shorts and wife-beaters. By raising temperatures just three degrees, Japan could save 310,000 kilolitres of oil this summer. Amazing.

No suits at work rocks. That's the best thing about working in a rural area, casual wear. I'm actually wearing birkenstocks at work, who needs air conditioning!
