Niseko Gets Environmental

Supermarkets in Kutchan, the town just outside of Niseko, have introduced the practice of charging for plastic bags!

Of course this a step in the right direction for the Niseko environment and the environment in general of course! It does seem that a lot more of an effort should be made to protect and improve the amount of negative factors that affect the environment considering the people of Niseko rely so heavily on environmental tourism.

So how will this affect you?

Well when you come to Niseko on your next snow holiday, consider bringing your “green” shopping bags from home, or buy ones to use here, or maybe even use the boxes that are provided at the supermarkets, but whatever you do, DON’T USE PLASTIC BAGS!
If you don’t use plastic, Mother Nature will of course reward you with nipple deep snow conditions for everyday of your holiday in Niseko!

We just hope you’re not a midget, nothing against midgets; we just want deeper snow than the height of midget nipples!
