Located in Kyoto's Fushimi Ward, Miyako Ecology Center is an environmental protection facility where visitors can learn about environmental issues firsthand. The building is unusual for its energy-efficiency: its electric power is produced entirely by solar power, and it makes use of rainwater and geothermal energy. Inside the building are sections concerning prevention of global warning and waste reduction, as well as areas that offer experiential learning about environmental issues.

京エコロジーセンター (京都市環境保全活動センター)は、大人も子供も入館料が、無料なのが嬉しいです。ここは、地球温暖化防止京都会議(COP3)を記念して2002年に設立されました。標準シャワーヘッドと節水シャワーヘッドでは、1年間に約15,000円も光熱費が、違う事を学びました。
ぜひ一度は訪れてほしい施設‼︎

京都にある持続可能な社会を目指すための啓発施設。駅からも近く〔京阪電車藤森駅〕駐車場も完備。様々な手法で地球温暖化を伝えています。色々な体験プログラムが用意されていました。小さなお子さんから大人まで、興味の持てる展示や見える化で関心が持てるように工夫されています。地球のこれからを自分の問題として取り組めるきっかけを作ってくれます(^_^)おススメです。
