Have the japanese coped with its physical environment?
Not sure what you are saying, do you mean have they come into balance with their environment? I would say generally yes. The Japanese have done quite well considering that they have 150 million citizens (half the US population) living on a land area smaller than California, and have an extremely urban and industrial society. They have very strict controls on logging and pretty effective pollution controls. But like in America, they have debates about whether or not they are doing enough. Japan is also rather poor in natural resources, which is actually good for their environment. It means they must import most of their resources rather than extract them at home, which is usually environmentally destructive.
