Why environmental activists are women?

This was first lecture of the course, Sustainable Management. I was looking forward to the class because my major is agricultural economics, and it related sustainability strongly I believe. In my expectation, it was theoretical study, but it was more practical course in reality.

In class, I leaned concept of “sustainability” and change of environmental problem: more globally and more complex. I read one article but I could not understand why companies are expected to act for sustainability. This is because of my perception, but it will be changed in the course.

What is most impressive for me was teacher was women and all guest planed to come the course were women. It was strange for me…but certainly, there are more women activists than men in Japan. Why is it so? I will try to ask someday to guests.
