Mumblings

Economi is "eco's fruits" or "fruits of eco" in Japanese. Eco stands for ecology and economy.

Someone once said that anti-consumerism is the ultimate environmental conservation. Having been brought up by a mother who experienced the aftermaths of WWII in Japan, I grew up with the doctrine of waste not want not. With work, kids, and other obligations of life, it's often hard to find time to cook, saw or clean or even think, but hopefully with a little ingenuity and effort, we can lead healthier and more satisfying lives while saving a little money and being kinder to the environment.
