## Background: Pachinko Halls and CO₂ Emissions Reality
A single pachinko hall operating for one year emits approximately 256 tons of CO₂. To absorb this amount, a Japanese cedar forest of about 6.3 Tokyo Domes (29 hectares) is required.
"Forestry Pachinko" directly confronts these issues and was born from the vision of "Protecting the Earth with the Power of Leisure," making it the industry's first SDGs integrated promotion service.
