Abstract
To solve many of global environmental issues, there is a need to raise environmental awareness and to carry out environmental conscious behavior. But we've known that it is very hard to do so, because it is quite difficult to recognize that relationship between individuals and their environment. We have come to realize that reflecting upon our diets has much to do with reviewing the relationship. The questionnaire was then conducted on the members of “SOGEN”, a group of people who take macrobiotics. As a result of it, the vegetarians who take macrobiotics as their diets are more aware of the environmental issues than those who are merely considered to be “vegetarians”. Therefore, not until we practice to have only macrobiotics and have ideals for macrobiotic lifestyle, we can have more environmental awareness and practice conscious behavior. To solve the global environmental issues, it is a good idea to start the macrobiotic diet. And, we propose this idea to the new one's lifestyle.
