ATTAC
www.attac.org
ATTAC (Association for the Taxation of financial
Transactions for the Aid of Citizens) is an international
network of independent national and local groups in 33 countries.
It promotes the idea of an international tax on currency speculation
(the Tobin Tax) and campaigns to outlaw tax havens, replace
pension funds with state pensions, cancel Third World debt,
reform or abolish the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and,
more generally, recapture the democratic space that has been
lost to the financial world. ATTAC is independent from all
political parties, and brings together labour unions, associations,
MPs, academics and citizens from all walks of life, in self-education
and peaceful action.

A SEED JAPAN and its ‘Mission The
Earth’ Summit held in 1992 in Rio, made it clear that
each environmental problem that we face is closely related
each other and also undoubtedly related to the international
eco system that has been demanding continuous growth and chaotic
development programs. Also clarified that those environmental
problems do not stay as domestic level but increase seriousness
to the global level. Since then, economic globalization not
only complicates but also fasten the speed of degradation
of the environmental problems. A SEED JAPAN has been, is,
and always will, take actions to balance the social injustice
exists in the environmental problems.
