Fasting for Fukushima: Eleventh Day Movement to Save the Future

FAST FOR FUKUSHIMA

by Harvey Wasserman - Solartopia.org

 Today, Monday, November 11, many of us will begin our first "Eleventh Day Fast for Fukushima". Along with so many others, I won't be eating from dawn to dusk. I will do liquids. But the fast will be meant to honor the victims of this horrible disaster, and to focus our efforts on finding ways to survive it.

The fast comes exactly 32 months after the disaster began. Many of us will fast again each 11th day of the month until Fukushima ceases to threaten the health of the planet, which will almost certainly take a long long time. Hopefully the fasts will be good for the planet's health as well as our own.

NEW PETITION: Many of you wrote noting I omitted the link for the new petition from Arnie Gundersen, asking Tepco be removed from Fukushima. Here it is:

http://www.nukefree.org/new-fuku-petition-remove-tepco-you-remove-fuel

We already have 715 signers, and hope for many many more.

Please note that we continue to gather signatures for our main petition. We have turned an initial 114,000-plus from this petition and 40,000 more from www.rootsaction.org plus many more individual and organizational signatures from the Green Shadow Cabinet.

But we cannot and will not stop until a global team of scientists and engineers takes over at Fukushima with the full faith and credit of the world behind them. Only then might we have a chance to survive on this planet.

So please keep sending this petition around, gathering signatures and talking to all who'll listen about what we must do to save our planet and ourselves from the horrific mistake that is atomic energy.

WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE

Today's NYTimes carried a big story on the fuel rod bring-down at Unit Four. Serious Fukushima coverage is finally surfacing at other corporate media throughout the world, most notably Reuters.

Little or none of this would be happening without our movement's tireless efforts to wake up the world about this devastating disaster.

So let's keep up! We are making a huge difference!! Together, we just might save this planet. See you in Solartopia, HarveyW
