12

Existing situation: each actor is separated (in mind)-scientists, students, local residents, gov.officials, biz.persons etc-(each actor takes some roll relating with each “E” respectively)

For balance of 3E, actors need to -----first SHARE the concept of “3E” & “Low Carbon Society” themselves --second COMMUNICATE their own point of view, values and wants each other--third TAKE ACTION (by oneself or) in collab.with other actors in the society

For “Balance” of 3E…For “Balance” of 3E…

13

Taking place 3E Cafe -----provides the opportunity for people to understand & become friendly with the idea of “3E” / “LCS”

--let attendants come up with inspirations & fusionsrelating to 3E/LCS through casual dialogue

--and which leads to common awareness & consensus building on 3E/LCS

--motivate attendants to make a new step in collab. with others

--consequently it results to change lifestyles, market, society & gov.’s policy

For “Balance” of 3E…For “Balance” of 3E…

14

Should “Balance of 3E” (3E-balanced LCS) be conducted only by pro.s?--such as policymakers, env. scientists, green-activists

Is Top-down policy led by some pro.s not enough ?
