Concerning the environmental impact brought by daily life, some members have made trial teaching based on LCT in elementary school, junior high school, high school, consumer parties, and so on. Exhibition so called “Eco-Products”, known as one of the largest scale exhibitions in Japan has been utilized as another promotional opportunity of LCT. Their lively and various activities are summarized in this report.
