Abstract
This paper, based on the results of the questionnaire of environmental activities given to small firms in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, aims to find out the awareness and realities of their environmental activities. The result shows that the small firms think positively of the necessity of environmental activities. As to some environmental activities with the communities, few firms think negatively of them and most are willing to work with them if the conditions are met. However, even jf they try to practice environmental activities, they have various obstacles such as the limits of human and economic resources or the ignorance of how to do it, and therefore, many firms gave up. Also, regardless of the size, firms with high environmental awareness have practiced some environmental activities.
