In the past, Someya didn't realize just how relevant the family business was untill she survived a shocking landslide while vacationing in Nepal at the age of 18. This situation happened because the area had been deforested for road construction and after that she began to think about environmental issues. "I saw that we had become affluent," She says, " but there was much that was lost.
Someya urged her father to reposition the family company as " an environmental business of the future. and the company began to experiment how to turing cooking oil into fertilizer and soap.
Right now , U's Corporation collects about 100 tons of oil a month from 5,400 restaurants and 100 collecting stations. Someya has a plan to recycling all the used cooking oil in Tokyo within eight years and she named the plan as "Tokyo Yuden 2017", yuden meaning "oil field" in Japanese.
In my point of view, I think that Someya has a very good vision for recycling the cooking oil and make it to soap and fertilizer so Japanese people should realize that they make a lot of pollution by using cooking oil to make tempura. Tempura uses a lot of oil to deep fried so I think that Japanese should prefer another dish that uses less oil and it's more healthy that the dish that cook with a lot of oil.
