Japan’s Save the Ozone Network (JASON) is involved in a wide range of activities from making policy recommendations to presenting stage dramas to raise people’s awareness about issues. As we devote our energies to achieving the objectives of the Network, we also strive to make our activities fun and interesting for all.
Our achievements to date are the results of the generous support of so many people in our activities.

Policy Recommendations and Advocacy Activities |
 To Diet members and administrative bodies
In 2001 the efforts of our members and a number of NGOs bore fruit when the Law Concerning the Recovery and Destruction of Fluorocarbons was established through legislation by members of the Diet.
In the future too, we will continue to make policy recommendations that will contribute to the creation of social frameworks.

 Communicating our message
To communicate to others in a tangible way information about the problem of the ozone layer and harmful ultraviolet rays, Japan’s Save the Ozone Network (JASON) has published picture books and teaching materials. The Network has also produced a CD containing songs about the importance of our ozone layer. This spring we also produced a special picture-story show.
