Why Gingko 21 ?
Gingko Biloba is a Far Eastern tree, the oldest species on the planet. It may be 150 million years old and has resisted dinosaurs extinction and Hiroshima nuclear bombing. In Japan, it is called grand father's and grand son's tree because someone who plants a Gingko will not harvest its fruits. It definitely embodies the principle of sustainable development.
Then, 21 refers to Agenda 21, which is a sustainable development action plan for the 21st century. It was adopted by 173 heads of state at the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992.
