Subject: [DrumCircles] Another thing you can do for Japan
Hi list,
Thank you for your massages, prayers, drumming, donations,
holding charity events and so on.
More than three weeks have past, and things don't seem to be better,
unfortunately. The fiscal & school year begins on April 1, and
many people who evacuated from Tsunami/nuclear disaster area
have either moved for new places to settle or went back home.
Japan is almost like North Korea and the people are not provided
with truth. Information is very much controlled and you outside
Japan may have better information. You may think we always
have internet, but there are old people who don't use internet,
who have lost their PCs, who have PCs but the internet connection
is not available, and so on, especially at the Tsunami/nuclear- polluted
area.
As you know, Japan is one of the biggest seismic country.
Many earthquakes have been happening, before and especially
after the one on March 11. The big plates are stimulated
by the recent quakes, and many experts expect more to come.
There are 54 nuclear-power- related facilities, and the government
plans to build 14 more. They built the nuclear waste dumping
facility in Rokkasho, in the north, but it is almost full.
The real information is not available from either the government
or the power company, but there is already ongoing radiation leaks
which is polluting everything. We know it is MUCH more than
we are told it is.
You have rights to get more angry about Japan, because there is
no border in air and water. What Japan has done to its people
and to the world is a crime.
Japan has been traditionally VERY hard to change from inside.
Dr. Koide of Kyoto University, an anti-nuclear scholar, asked by
someone how we can stop nuclear power plants in Japan,
replied, "We have been trying for 40 years, and it has been
very difficult." Mediad oesn't function here either, because
many of the journalist who spoke out have been 'burried' in
all kinds of ways.
In many environmental movements, we as activists, often used
'external pressure' and asked our foreign friends for help.
Please contact the Japanese embassies in your area,
write to the Japanese government, Tokyo Electricity,
and so on to call for stopping and eventually abolishment
of Japan's nuclear power plants.
Tokyo Electricity http://www.tepco. co.jp/en/ index-e.html
Would it work? ... I don't know, because they may just
ignore your e-mails.
Tell your friends about the situation in Japan, contact
media or your government if you have connections.
Japan has already polluted the planet enough as of today,
and we have to avoid more nuclear-pollution by more
earthquakes to come.
Big earthquakes are said to come 100%. The problem is
no one knows if it will come today or 5, 10 years later.
We are doing our best to stop nuclear power plants here,
and we need your help. Please help!
Kaoru
