The Seikatsu Club Consumers’ Co-operative Union (SCCCU) is a Japanese federation of consumer co-operatives headquartered in Tokyo. The co-operative was formed in 1965 and has 307,000 members, most of whom are women. SCCCU is divided into groups of households who order food collectively. SCCCU offers only 3000 products, and mostly staple foods. As the co-operative is concerned with food safety, it buys organic food and shuns genetically modified organisms.〔Rosenberg, Dorothy Goldin. (Initiatives in feminism, environmentalism and action. ) ''Alternatives.'' 1 April 1995.〕 SCCCU also produces its own milk and biodegradable soap.〔MacLeod, Andrew. (The shopping club: members of a consumer co-op discover that their buying power can ensure ethical, affordable and healthy choices. ) ''Briarpatch.'' 1 December 2002.〕 In 1979, SCCCU started running candidates for political office through the Tokyo Seikatsusha Network and now has over 100 members who serve as local councilors. SCCCU received a Right Livelihood Award in 1989. ==Member co-operatives== * 23Ku Minami ("23 Wards South") Seikatsu Club * Kawasaki Seikatsu Club * Kita Tokyo("North Tokyo") Seikatsu Club * Sagami Seikatsu Club 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seikatsu Club Consumers' Co-operative Union」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
