節電ビズ (setsuden biz)

setsuden= save electricity, biz= short version of business

From 2005, Japanese use the term "cool biz" for the summer fashion of office workers.
Japanese office workers wear long sleeve shirts and jacket even in the summer time.
The idea is that people should wear light clothes to save electricity.

This summer needs more strict saving of electricity in Japan.
So "setsuden biz" will be "Let's wear lighter clothes. (casual clothes)"
