Wrenches and Efficiency Specialists,

Please consider this special tour to Japan. We need about four more 
people to make it possible. The following letter is from Randy Sadewic 
who lived in Japan for 5 years. He will lead the trip with his wife 
Nao, who is from Japan. You may contact Randy directly.

========================

Greetings from Santa Fe,
I am inquiring of the interest in a special tour of Japan that is 
scheduled around an Eco-products event in Tokyo on December 15-17.  
This trip would be 9 days starting December 8th and returning December 
16th.  This tour offers an “insiders” perspective on the sustainability 
movement in Japan. During our stay in Japan including a guided tour of 
the eco-product event (description of last years event attached), there 
would be trips to retail stores to learn about incredible product 
efficiencies achieved, an opportunity to talk to key individuals 
involved in this exciting transition in the Ministry of the Environment 
and Toshiba, a home visit or home stay to learn about daily life, time 
for shopping & sight-seeing, and includes a relaxing trip to the 
countryside to experience the unique and delicious food and enjoy the 
wonderful natural hot springs called “onsen”.  This tour would be 
unique in that we will use the public transportation system for travel 
and arrange for Japanese style accommodations that are affordable by 
Tokyo standards.
 
The cost of this trip which covers airfare (~$1,000), local travel, 
lodging and basic meals is estimated to be about $2,200 plus $500 to 
cover some of the cost of Randy and Nao’s travel and lodging.  In 
addition, there will be a cost of about $80 added to purchase CO2 
offsets for the estimated 20,000 lbs of CO2 generated by air travel.  
Details of this will be provided later. 
 
We are planning for a group size of six people which is an ideal size.
 
We need your response by Sept. 7 but preferably sooner if you are 
interested.
 
If there are any special considerations or accommodations you have, 
please share them with us.
 
Thanks,
Randy Sadewic
