Have you ever wondered "How can I find vegan friends in Japan?" or "Why do people here have no interest in sustainability?". I have been struggling with the same issue for a long time, too.

In this country, it is incredibly difficult to practice a green living. People have not gotten used to it so encountering like-minded people is hard even in the capital. This is why I came to think I want to make a social group for people who also enjoy an environment-friendly lifestyle in the Tokyo area.

What is "Tokyo Greening"?

It's an international meetup group that is for eco-conscious and vegan people living in and around Tokyo. We organize immersing events that can help you learn about sustainable lifestyles and connect to other like-minded members. 

What kind of events will we have?

We will hold events where you can meet people who have similar interests to you. From vegan picnics to hot debates, we plan a lot of activities that make your Tokyo life a lot fun and green!

How do we make our events "Sustainable"?

Japan is geographically far isolated from foreign countries so mimicking nice foreign events is not always the best.

In the US and Australia, it's okay to call "baking vegan cookies with coconut oil" a sustainable event because they can produce coconuts domestically. However, it's unable to grow tropical fruits here in Japan. Japan residents should have better ways.

When we want to drink coffee and enjoy chatting, we can choose Taiwanese coffee. Importing Taiwanese coffee beans is much better than shipping all the way from South America and Africa when it comes to environmental impact.

When we go on a day trip, we can take trains. It helps reduce the usage of gasoline. When we catch up for boardgame or something, we can meet at organic/vegan cafes or at the parks.

We can contribute to the environment in many ways.

Meet vegan people near you

Studies say eating with other people brings you happiness. If you want to share a fun time while eating tasty vegan meals alone, you should really hit the RSVP button!

You do not need to suffer from lonely meals anymore. You can easily find plant eaters at our events. Well, at least the organizer has been a vegan for 6 years now.

Vegan lunch with vegan people is so welcoming. We don't need to take time to explain our food expenses, vitamin B12, and how we think about "plants' feeling". Instead, we can use time to build friendships.
