Going Green with ‘Totoro’

September 1st, 2008 in Adventure, Celebs, Classic, Directors, Uncategorized -

Preservation of your natural resources is so very important for humanity.  I want to let you know about Sayama Forrest as one of the most remarkable urban forests (approximately 8750 acres) in Japan located right outside of Tokyo. This forest is referred as where the idea for the masterpiece “My Neighbor Totoro” originated from.

Japan’s rapid urban development in the 70′s and 80′s, the forest has been losing its land. In 1990, the director of My Neighbor Totoro, Hayao Miyazaki helped set up the national trust, Totoro no Furusato Fund to preserve the environment in the park.

Go to Totoro Project to find out more about the bidding and fundraising.
