Female office workers are being enlisted in the fight against global warming as the Environment Ministry prepares its Super Cool Biz campaign for a June 1 kickoff.
The promotion takes the ongoing Cool Biz program up a notch and proposes that women play a larger role in energy conservation — "female style," the Environment Ministry said Monday.
The government launched its Cool Biz program in 2005 and has asked office workers to dress casually at workplaces during the summer to reduce energy use by relying less on air conditioners. The ministry encourages setting the air conditioners at 28 degrees.
