COMMUNITY DRIVEN

We live in unprecedented times. Climate change. Global pandemic. Mass awakenings around systemic racism, oppression and injustice in America. Each of these historic, ongoing and sudden disruptions further underscoring the deep divisions in how we relate to our fellow human beings and the Planet we all belong to.

In order to meet the challenges of our time, to ensure social justice, human rights and a livable thriving planet for future generations, we must all commit to making profound shifts in how we work, live and relate to one another. No single person can do it all. But each of us can do something, and together we can change the world.

Fukushima Wastewater Highlights Risks of Dumping into the Ocean

"Nearly 10 years after the Tohoku-oki earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant and triggered an unprecedented release radioactivity into the ocean, radiation levels have fallen to safe levels in all but the waters closest to the shuttered power plant. Today, fish and other seafood caught in waters beyond all but a limited region have been found to be well within Japan’s strict limits for radioactive contamination, but a new hazard exists and is growing every day in the number of storage tanks on land surrounding the power plant that hold contaminated wastewater. An article published August 7 in the journal Science takes a look at some of the many radioactive elements contained in the tanks and suggests that more needs to be done to understand the potential risks of releasing wastewater from the tanks into the ocean." - Excerpt from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute
