Edo: A Sustainable Society

We throw away roughly 500 million tons of garbage in Japan each year, with about a tenth of it coming from homes and offices. It translates to around one kilogram of waste per person every day.

“3Rs” means Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. It has been popular since it was introduced as the Basic Law for Establishing a Recycling-Based Society in 2000. Today, not only in Japan but in other parts of the world, numerous measures have been taken to pursue a sustainable society.

Let’s take a deeper look at the Edo period. Worn-out clothing was used as floor coverings before being burned to ash. Ashes themselves were utilized as fertilizer, dyes, and detergents, or sold to ash buyers. According to documents, one arithmetic textbook in a temple school was utilized for 109 years. Farmers would pay money or donate crops in exchange for human waste. Recycling had the beneficial impact of producing a variety of occupations. Throughout the Edo period, there was little unemployment.

The population of Japan has increased by a factor of two and a half, but the environment showed little sign of getting any worse. Residents were forced to recycle what they had due to the scarcity of commodities and materials. Everything was viewed as a precious resource. The phrase “mottainai,” or “what a waste,” is still part of our daily lives today.
