Furoshiki

Submitted by Guest on April 12, 2008 - 05:57.

You're welcome! Glad to be of use.
There's a nice article here about how the Japanese Minister of the Environment created the "Mottainai Furoshiki" as part of a campaign to reduce waste: http://www.env.go.jp/en/focus/060403.html

"The Japanese word mottainai means 'it's a shame for something to go to waste without having made use of its potential in full.'"

That's an awesome word and quite thought-proving!
