Cool biz

0 How can this save energy? I don't get it... No/less air-cooling? 0-

0 Does the idea of not requiring the wearing of jackets and ties mean that workers will be more likely to feel comfortable with higher temperatures? Thus, air-condition thermostats could be set lower and thereby reduce energy costs? 0-

0 Yes, that's what I suspect. 02br

0 Hello Pieanne 02br

00Can we use "down the throttle" for decreasing the power of a room air conditioner? Now some LDP members are trying to get Koizumi's policies down. So "down the throttle" would be a nice motto for their political campaign. 02br

0 Workers at central government ministries in Japan will not be wearing jackets and ties this summer under a campaign to save energy... 02br
00They call it 'Cool Biz Campaign'. I think the idea is good, but the phrase is one of the worst Japlish. Could you suggest any good catch phrase? 02br
