About 300 people demonstrated through the crowded streets of Shibuya and Harajuku in central Tokyo on Saturday to urge the Japanese government to stick to the floundering 1997 Kyoto Protocol on curbing global warming.
The Stop Global Warming! Family Parade, organized by 13 mostly environmental groups, demanded that the Diet and the government ratify and implement the Kyoto pact, even if the U.S. decides to drop out.
Members of environment groups including Kiko Network, Friends of the Earth Japan and the Japan Wild Bird Society carried banners and sang during the parade.
