This time, I introduce "冬"

On the calendar, winter is ''Decmber, January, February''.

The Japanese winter is cold.
This was common so far.

But now,
This changes.

Global warming.
It is the one of the biggest problems on the earth.

What do you do for the earth?

I choose a bicycle than the car as much as possible.

Small one step be connected in the big future.


I introduce ''Seven days of a week'' from the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
