Aichi World Expo: Sweden Day April 6

The theme for this year's World Expo in Aichi is "Nature's wisdom". Tomorrow, April 6, we celebrate Sweden day.

From the official website: "From unique landscapes to contemporary design, everyday lives to futuristic ships; the Nordic Pavilion invites you to explore the modern Nordic world in an oasis of calm and tranquility. Light, water and wood, all such important elements in Nordic life, will feature strongly in the pavilion."

Actually, I am disappointed that the Nordic/Swedish pavilion does not mention much about environmental protection. This should have been the main theme, including topics such as renewable energy, sustainable agriculture and recycling of resources.

It seems Denmark is better at taking advantage of the World Expo, as a unique opportunity to promote environmental protection and especially its wind turbine industry. In fact, Denmark holds an impressive 40% share of total worldwide production. Technical developments are rapid and turbines are becoming bigger and bigger. Installations and exhibitions will demonstrate how wind turbines work, and explore their benefits and future potential.
