"A talk by ecologist Matsumoto, who cycled around the world six and a half times!"
He is the world's leading ecologist who has traveled by bicycle to 135 countries and gives lectures around the world based on his own experiences!
He was born in Miyazaki Prefecture and studied architecture at university. He served as president of a major local construction company.
While working on the nuclear power issue, he witnessed many truths and decided to close the company.
After that, he began giving lectures at the age of 38, traveling not only within Japan but also around the world.
He will share with us important things he has seen and felt with his own eyes, such as environmental issues, conflicts, and poverty occurring around the world.
Matsumoto-san, who organizes the early summer Dutch eco-tour every year,
This story is a must-listen 🍀✨

He will be returning to Japan soon and is scheduled to give a lecture at Emasala on March 30th.
There is a lot of misinformation and confusion out there, so I would like to hear some real stories.

There is nothing more foolish than humans killing each other.
The immigration issue is heating up in Japan as well, and hostility towards foreigners is on the rise.
This feeling of "I can't forgive" is the beginning of conflict and can even lead to major wars.
The people living on Earth
Set your own boundaries,
To gain an advantage for ourselves,
To be stronger and richer than others,
Wouldn't the Japanese want that too?
