Please modify my English answer ver.2. Q.What would you like to do in your environmental activity after this meeting? /200-400 words (NOT 200-400 letters) ↓↓ I am doing the activity for climate change. In particular, I am thinking about visualizing the emission of university and building the system of university environmental policy involving the student ,who are most users in university, toward the improvement. However, I have doubt about the current technology building a low carbon society and recycling society. To have an opinion, I am studying about biological approach to climate change by using microbe which contributes to pollution. In this meeting, I want to know the opinion and the activity of youth from foreign countries about my doubt, and get the hint for taking a view by discussing. And I want to eye the international activities than just in the country. I aspire to making my activities more concrete and effective. So I need to become the environmental activist doing many kind of multidiscipline from which I can involve many youth, to poliy-level. After this meeting I will work up the energy-saving action in the university as well as studying hard about climate change and having my opinion to the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change If I come up with need to action, I will act and output from Japan to the world by using the network my organization has.

Please modify my English answer. Q.Why would you like to attend this youth meeting and how can you like to contribute to this meeting? /(200~400words) ↓↓ Because I want to know what foreign students think about environmental problem and do environmental activities. In Japan, I know many students do many kinds of environmental activities. But most of them are Japanese, so they are similar to me in attitude. While I was staying in Sydney last year, I could know the EARTH YEAR campaign in the center place of the city. And my hostmother was not interested in environment in particular, but she sometimes talked to me about that by casual conversation. In Sydney university, I saw the students doing environmental activities, who belong to the organization for climate change action. And they also did a lot of the activities which I didn’t know an example in Japan. And just a short term in October, I participated in COP10 held in Nagoya city, I could widen possibility which NGO can do of my image. But in the international conference such as COP10, I felt the poor attendance of Japanese organization and just only a little people minded the progress about the meeting. So I think Japan is the developing country in the environmental activity. Therefore, I want to take opportunity of this meeting to do the activity in foreign countries ,and to have a new thought of my environmental activity in the country. And since I belong to environmental networking organization, I know many information about the activity in Kansai area, especially university students. Now I am assigned to the laboratory, and doing study the positive use of microbe. My characteristic is that I have two aspect of the student in science majors and the environmental activist. So I want to contribute to this meeting with the way of thinking of the science majors.

Jumpei Miyazaki's notebook entry: Jan 30, 2011 Tonight, I watched football Japan vs Australia in the final of Asia Cup in Qatar. I was so excited and very happy. Because Japan won the game and became the champion of Asia. Aussie was very strong and hard physical. So Japan had difficulty in the play style of Aussie long-pass. But Lee, Japanese FW, scored!! And the goal made Japan the champion. Congratulations!!
