Needs major additions on controversies
I know that there were charges by local NGOs that the Expo organizers were running roughshod over both local ecosystems and small communities, especially in the Kaisho Forest. There was, I believe, even talk that the Expo was being used by as a Trojan Horse to develop Kaisho Forest.

I am not the person to add this content, since I am currently on short-term contract by the Expo Organizing Committee. I actually came across the aforementioned controversy while doing online research for the job. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wintersmith (talk • contribs).

And how does the Expo 2005 look today?
Should add information on how the area looks today! Is there anything to see today (2006)? Are the building standing? Is the area open or closed? Is it still interesting? That kind of information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.62.243.136 (talk • contribs).

Why more Expos?
''"Theme The theme of the Expo is "Nature's Wisdom", with national and corporate pavilions expressing themes of ecological co-existence, renewable technology, and the wonders of nature. In Japanese, this is rendered as Ai-chikyūhaku (愛・地球博), which means (roughly) "Love the Earth Expo". According to the official website:

We must come together and share our experience and wisdom, in order to create a new direction for humanity which is both sustainable and harmonious with nature."''

No wonder World's Fairs generate no enthusiasm these days!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.79.37 (talk) 20:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
