    Japan is taking the lead in developing hi-tech products that protect the planet as a recent exhibition in Tokyo showed.
    Thousands of environmentally friendly products were on display at the Eco-Products exhibition, which attracted over 100,000 visitors.

    Japan has a lot to teach the rest of the world when it comes to being green and that is precisely what the exhibitors at Eco-Products had in mind.

    One of the biggest draws at the show was Toyota's fuel-cell car.

    Four of the clean vehicles have just been leased by the Japanese Government to improve its green credentials.

    However, it could be some time before they become a common sight on the roads as the cost of leasing them is a hefty £6,315 per month.
