The 4-Steps Round Up 03.27.2015

If the #Fukushima nuclear disaster was a mystery movie, it would be right at this point where the lead gumshoe would be noting that things are starting to smell like 3 day old fish on this case.  Too many myths, misfires and shady dealings for any progress to be made?  Not quite, here are the keys to our success, step-by-step:

STEP 1 EDUCATE & SAFEGUARD

Something stinks alright and for once, it’s not just the fish!  Food stuffs from Japan are turning up radioactive in Taiwan and they aren’t too happy about it.

STEP 2 EVACUATE #FUKUSHIMA NOW

One of the biggest myths about #Fukushima and every other nuclear accident that the bad guys like to spread around is “nobody has ever died” because of it.

STEP 3 CONTROL & CONTAIN

The clean up after #Fukushima has been marred by corruption and ineffectiveness this whole time.  So why are they trying to build a costly, giant sea wall instead of taking care of the problem at the plant?

STEP 4 NUCLEAR POWER IS OVER

Last week we alluded to the connection between the occupation of #Okinawa and #Fukushima.  A Japan Focus piece from 2011 brings things into clearer focus.

HEY #FUKUFIGHTERS!

Here’s a social media tip – on Facebook LIKES SHARES and COMMENTS are its currency, worth 1, 5, 10 points respectively.  But on Google+ it’s all 10s and it’s ramping up more powerful tools as well.  If you’re not using G+ to get the word out yet, it is highly recommended!
