Five years ago Kamikatsu, in south-western Japan, embarked on an
ambitious environmental campaign that, if successful, could become a
model for the rest of the country, and beyond. By 2020, the village’s
2,000 residents aim to eliminate the use of landfills and incinerators,
and instead recycle or reuse every single item of household waste.
It was not that long ago that life in Kamikatsu revolved around the
state of the rice crop and the number of tourists arriving to soak in
the restorative waters of the local hot spring. Now the tiny village, in
the densely wooded mountains of Shikoku island in south-west Japan, has
a new obsession: rubbish.
Since 2003 Kamikatsu's 2,000 residents
have been part of a so far unheralded ecological experiment that, if
successful, could force bin men across the country to look for new jobs.
Urban
Japanese householders, who balk at having to divide rubbish into
flammable and inflammable items, bottles and cans, should spare a
thought for their counterparts in Kamikatsu.
