now streaming (5 minute anime; English & Japanese) for "Mottainai Granny"

Since 2004, the Mottainai Granny has been teaching lessons of respect for environment and resources, including the waste of food.

[author and illustrator Mariko] Shinju adds that being more mindful of the environment is an important part of life amid a global pandemic as well. "Before we try to restore our lives to how it used to be, we should aim for a better world than before," she says. "I would like to move forward by giving priority to what we should do to live and finding ways to make everyone happy in a sustainable society that protects the environment."

Under the kind but watchful eyes of Mottainai Grandma, every day can be an opportunity to make the world a better place by respecting the environment.
