About World Environment Day In 1972, to commemorate the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm, the United Nations, following a proposal from Japan and other countries, designated June 5th as World Environment Day. In 1993, Japan also designated the same day as Environment Day under the Basic Environment Law, with the aim of deepening interest and understanding in environmental conservation, as well as increasing motivation to actively engage in environmental conservation
activities. About Cool Earth Day After the G8 Summit (Toyako Summit) was held in Japan on July 7, 2008, July 7 was designated as “Cool Earth Day” every year. This day is a time to reaffirm the importance of the global environment at home and in the workplace and to promote efforts to combat global warming, and people are called to reduce electricity consumption and contribute to creating a carbon-free society. About Summer Energy Conservation General Inspection Day It was established by the Energy and Resource Conservation Measures Promotion Council held on June 28, 1990. Power consumption is likely to be at its highest in the year from August to September, and especially in late August, the first day of August is set as the day when electricity consumption is at its highest. Various events to raise awareness of energy conservation are held around this day. Hotel Granvia Okayama will continue to coexist with the local community and strive to realize a sustainable society. ■About Hotel Granvia Okayama (https://www.granvia-oka.co.jp/）
