Remember Fukushima - message from Mia June



My initial reason to be involved in the unti-nuclear campaign was that my brother’s family lived in Fukushima-city, although 50km away from the crippled plant, it’s not a safe place to stay. I’ve been wondering “What can I do, How I can help them…” I’ve been reading about the news form Fukushima as much as I could for the last two years. And I couldn’t’believe so much corruptions, deceptions and cover-ups, manipulation …I felt I couldn’t’ just be quiet. I started to write this blog to share Fukushima news and any nuclear related information.
I strongly feel it’s about time that every citizen in the world knows about the risks we are taking for ourselves and others when we choose nuclear energy for electricity and for the sake of the national security. Nuclear disasters affect the whole world as we are so interconnected through the food and drink industries. For example UK could import more radioactive food than the one sold in Japan because UK regulation of allowable amount of ionizing radiation is very loose for imported food. It has been like that since the Chernobyl disaster. I wrote detailed information in this blog. http://fukushimaappeal.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/food-safety-in-japan.html http://fukushimaappeal.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/are-imported-food-safe-after-chernobyl.html
With ongoing problems at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants, Japan is facing a devastating situation. I fear there seems be no way out. The government safety campaign is misleading; they are actually spreading radioactive debris throughout Japan; ionizing radiation seeping into the every corner of people’s lives through food and drinks. It’s like being at the war an invisible enemy as there is no smell or taste. But I would like to have hope. However sad I feel every time I hear bad news, I would like to feel real and alive rather than being ignorant of the fact. I would like to believe that as long as we choose the right next step, our future will surely be a better one. The Fukushima disaster was a huge shock to my system, but because of what I have learned in the last two years, I can understand more what’s going on in the world, in the knowledge that I can be one of many who can change the world for the better. I wouldn’t like to live in the fear based and fear fuel society for the name of the national security. Japan is not the only country wanting to acquire nuclear weapon technology. But the Fukushima disaster taught us that nuclear technology could destroy your country before being attacked by any other forces.
Japan needs your help more than at any other time in its history. Please help us in any way you can. And please remember Fukushima.
