To find solutions to global environmental problems, rather than working on seperate individual initiatives, there is a need for problem solving systems that can be applied to entire regional communities and societies. The Asaza Fund is a citizen-led public enterprise rooted in the local community, and over the 14 years since 1995 it has advanced the creation of various models through the Asaza Project. Now the project wants to further advance the models it has created up til now by developing initiatives that will involve even more diverse segments of society. Specifically, this will involve: (1) developing and improving environmental education in elementary schools around the lake to increase awareness of sustainable town development, and (2) proposing uses for regional resources that will invigorate local industries that possess recycling and conservation functions. The sale of 'lake-friendly vegetables' - vegetables grown using fish meal from invasive species as fertilizer - is already underway, and the project will look to increase the number and types of products created through this kind of initiative. It will also recommend policy and build consensus for reviving 'Tennen Eel', a local brand with a powerful appeal.
