We have been looking at important places in Japan. One of these places is the Tohoku area, which was hurt greatly by the 2011 tsunami. We decided to compare our situation with those in Japan by looking at the Tohoku Cotton project.
What
is the Tohoku cotton project?

- To encourage farmers to grow cotton on the
tsunami-stricken fields no longer suitable for growing rice
- To create a new industry using TOHKU COTTON with
fashion and apparel companies to generate stable employment in Tohoku
- And to effectively channel good will of individuals
to support the disaster-stricken area through choices made to benefit them as
well in their daily live.
