Is japan an eco hero or eco villain?

Question

need this for AP Environmental Science. and need the reason why, thank you

Answer 1

a bit of both to be honest. definitely better than us though.

Answer 2

America can be.

Answer 3

There is no such thing as an eco hero or villain.

But...

I'd say they would be a hero saying that they have a high percentage of their electricity from Clean Nuclear Power Plants.

And...

They take care of their forests and they fish alot but they don't overfish.

Answer 4

japanese are good people

Answer 5

the japanese industries are very thoughtful . ie , motor cars they were one of the first to built lean burning engines , years before we decided to talk about it . even their farmings , foods and wastes.

Answer 6

I love seeing thier little rice paddies or vegi gardens in front of tiny houses instead of lawns or a larger garden in the middle of an industrial area there.   Kinda like the victory gardens of the US in the 40's.
