A Positive Analysis of the Effect for Environmental Education of Re-Use Cup Systems:

From a Study in Yokohama City

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the re-use cup system at Nissan Stadium has an influence on environmental education for neighborhood children, and, if it does, how much the influence is. The authors carried out a questionnaire to over 900 elementary and junior high school students who live near the stadium. As a result, we discovered that the system has an effect on the tendency of their pro-environmental behavior. According to the result, a student who has used re-use cups 10 times tends to conduct pro-environmental behavior about 6% more frequently than who has never used them.
