Meanwhile, the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) will be put into practice and new forms of energy and other cutting- edge technology will be introduced. 9:30 - 21:30 9:00 - 22:00 9:00- 18:00 9:09 - 22:00 Nagakute seo _ [9390-17380 9:00 - 19:00 RD . * H >) PO eS ce *.¢ EXPO sites ia : ‘The environment, peace, educa- tion and food supplies are a few of the issues facing the world.
