Energy-Conservation Issued on August 1, 1981 (Showa 56)

Energy-Conservation Issued on August 1, 1981 (Showa 56) Energy conservation policies in Japan began with the "energy security" aspect of the oil crisis in the early 1970s. The main purpose of energy saving is to reduce costs, but it also includes reduction of energy consumption, environmental protection, and reduction of energy risk from the viewpoint of security. Since the 1990s, global environmental conservation has become a social issue, and it has become an important initiative in national energy policy. The stamp was issued in 1981 to promote energy conservation and is designed for water conservation and energy recycling.
