Choice Stickers - Niseko

It's a powder day again!
I was on the lift with a man
His skis, his snow-gear were all completely different from mine.
But, when he spoke about the snow, I could feel that his passion and his smile were as great as mine.
He told me that years ago, there was so much snow that when you fell, you would fall head first deep down into the snow.
Can you believe that there was so much more snow back then?

That made me think;
When I grow older, would the mountains still be covered and filled with this amazing pow?

I can't and won't imagine a rainy Niseko.
I don't ever want to have to say "It used to be amazing here".
It makes me realise that we may be taking this spectacular white gift from nature for granted and that we should learn to appreciate this gift as well as the forest and trees around us.

So what can we do now, in this very moment, for the future of our earth?
As our own lives in the present are created by our own choices we've made up until today, I wonder if we all came together and chose to live toward a brighter, and more positive tomorrow, that we may be able to make a difference.

Action definitely speaks louder than words.
Why don't we start by creating a cool sticker that not only looks good but raises funds to plant trees all around the world and preserve our beautiful environment?

If happy and positive people who believe in a brighter future start using this sticker on their boards and on their skis, and if you happen to be on the same lift as someone who, by chance, had the same sticker as you, there's a great ice-breaker don't you think?
It might lead into a great conversation, a great friendship or even a great romance!

To all of you who love our snow,
Let's start making choices for a brighter tomorrow.
You choose your future and that's why,
we've all got "Choices" to make in 2011,
why not start in Niseko?
A choice for a brighter, happier tomorrow!

All funds raised from sales of our 'Choice' sticker
will go towards the not-for-profit organisation 'Make The Heaven'
for their world-wide plant trees project.
One sticker costs 300 yen and
pays for the planting of four trees, sugoi!
