2007 Final Report
Written by admin on Oct 1st, 2007 and posted in 2007, On the RoadWe raised a total of ¥270,000 in 2007 to donate to organizations committed to raising awareness of the issues surrounding the Rokkasho nuclear reprocessing plant.
We decided to split this sum among two organizations. On Dec 16th, 2007, at a Stop Rokkasho meeting in Ochanomizu in Tokyo, the BEE 2007 team donated ¥135,000 to the Stop Rokkasho foundation (http://stop-rokkasho.org). Four days later in Kyoto on Dec 20th, Monden-san and Nobby-san (a BEE donor and supporter) presented a check on behalf of BEE for ¥135,000 to the Green Action organization (http://www.greenaction-japan.org).
Nearly 3 months after the completion of the cycling aspect of BEE 2007, we finally reached the end of the road for BEE 2007 by donating funds to our selected environmental cause. A heartfelt thanks to all the special people we met along the way. It’s been a most memorable trip.
