The 4-Steps Round Up 06.26.2015

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

With more and more marine species washing up dead on the shores of the Pacific West Coast, how much longer can we stay in denial about it?  The “F” word is real, deal with it.

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

With alcoholism and depression become factors in the lives of #Fukushima refugees, one home grown outreach program tries to rebuild community instead.

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

TEPCO knew about the tsunami risk years in advance of the disaster, did nothing about it and now they get another gov’t bailout.  Does any of this corruption make you want to #FIRETEPCO?

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

If the nuclear village idiots can’t even read their own financial reports about the renewable energy revolution taking place, it’s their own damned fault if they want to keep betting on nuclear.

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

I keep saying technology is a powerful tool for us to use in this fight for #Fukushima – Safecast in Japan is showing the way in how to crowdsource data and help us all see a clearer picture.
