Green Cross Japan launched the "Green Lane Diary" program in 1998, in order to build a scalable, curriculum aligned environmental education program for primary school students. Since then, each year thousands of Japanese students have benefited from this inspirational initiative which distributes "Manga" style print booklets that enable teachers to guide students through a comprehensive sustainability program over a ten week period.
The Diary is a lovely 50 page colorful resource that comes with a
"Scrapbook" where students log their daily environmental activites
as well as their imaginative projects that are submitted for an
annual award.
Since 1998, more than 1 million Japanese students have
participated in the Green Lane Diary program! Over more recent
years, our offices in Korea, Sri Lanka and now Australia have
joined in the program. Since our Queensland pilot in 2010, Green
Cross Australia has supported more than 78,000 primary school
students from over 600 schools and environment centres righta cross
Australia to be part of Green Lane Diary.
In 2011, for the first time, a
special video-conference took place uniting three schools affected
by natural disasters in Australia, Japan and New Zealand. To read
