Workers of Japan, Cast Off Your Ties!

Laurie David [1]comments on Japan's decision to adopt "casual summer"
in order to fight global warming:
The very next day, the New York Times ran an article about the
chairman of Toyota Motor, Japan�s largest company, bucking
tradition in the name of reducing global warming -- announcing that
all Toyota employees are to leave their business suits and ties at
home this summer in anticipation of rising temperatures. No suits =
less air conditioning = less energy burned = reduced global warming
gases. The Japanese government has also adopted "no necktie, no
jacket" summertime policy.
It's simple, ingenious, brave, and practical.
"Brave"?
