Human-Environment Interactions
The Japanese like to interact with their environment by building parks. There are over 6000 parks covering over 1000 hectares of land in Tokyo. They love cherry blossom viewing and they love to have picnics on the land.
Tokyo is intersected by the Sumida River, which the effects on that is that Tokyo has an extensive network of Canals. There is a large manmade port at the mouth of the Sumida. The development of which has enabled Tokyo to compete with there rival, Yokohama. Mount Fuji is west of Tokyo and it is one of the highest points of Japan.
The city is slow to stop the environmental issues because they have a lot on their mind. Tokyo is using a lot of there land space on buildings because of their strong economic centers. There is hardly any farming in Tokyo, except for the occasional farming of a balcony or in the public gardens. Out past the suburbs of Metropolitan Japan, there are rural plains and mountains where people can farm, but that is past the suburbs, so it is not actually Tokyo.
There is not a lot of interacting, just building. Building is negative for the environment, so the Japanese interact with their environment in a negative way. To balance that act, Japan and Tokyo are part of the Kyoto Protocol which is made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. On top of that, Japan uses a lot of renewable energy, and tries to limit their use of fossil fuels, because fossil fuel produce greenhouse gases when burned. Greenhouse gasses hurt the environment. Tokyo has a good point to pollution though, there is a lot of mass transit because there is a lot of traffic on the small roads. Mass transit is better for the environment.
