Blog #5: Power Saving

Hi I am Kotaro Yajima.
It doesn't seem to be a rainy season, don't you think? and summer is coming. But this summer is going to be more uncomfortable than usual, as last year. We have to save electricity because of the problem of nuclear power plants. We have to do every thing we can save energy and we need to think out good saving plans. This is an example in Osaka. There are bunch of shops and shopping streets there, they are planning saving electricity, such as changing lights to LED which is blighter and uses less electricity. Do you know "Kuidaore Taro"? It's a robot in Doutonbori. It's famous and is drumming in front of a shop.
Since it's a robot, it needs electricity to drum, but people have decided that he, this robot, will be turned off during this summer. It's very small but it does save energy. He says "I'm not lazy, saving!" We have to every thing we can do this summer.
