Recently. a lot of environmental problems became obvious. Especially, waste problem is very serious. In this condition, some events adopting "Environment" as its slogan have come to be held. In those events, however, the situation of waste generation and the data of waste treatment have not been developed yet. So, we took "Kitakyushu Expo 2001" for instance and investigated the waste generation. And we made a study on the effectiveness of environmental considerations. As a result, we found 1) amount of waste generation in "Kitakyushu Expo 2001" is less than half that in the past expo because of the efforts to the reduction of waste generation (ex. use of returnable dishes), 2) the effectiveness of environmental considerations in the event is confirmed. So, we think environmental considerations like this are required in the future event (ex. Aichi Expo 2005).
