Royichi Yamamoto: conceptual and practical
Royichi Yamamoto is the most prominent of the godfathers of Ecodesign in Japan. His vision, concepts, zeal and attention for practicalities, like the organization of the yearly eco-products exhibition, has had a big impact. You can only look at the whole of his efforts as a humble scholar. When I had the honor to present the Environmental Award to Royichi at the ‘Electronics goes Green’ conference in Berlin, I took the liberty to say that he reflects many of the characteristics of a preacher in the Dutch Reformed Church. This is because he is able to teach the distinction between sin and salvation in the environmental world and between ‘green’ fates and predestination too. Most of all this is true because of his hard work -a Calvinistic diligence to pursuing his goals. His environmental work has deeply influenced me and I am thankful for that. In the discussions we had, he always challenged me; please give me comments about the programs we are running and the policies we are pursuing in Japan. He is always eager to learn more, always driving to do better. This sharpens your mind as well, it forces you to come up with in-depth arguments.
