The Fukushima Contaminated Water Release: From the NGO Perspective
From the Editors: There Are Always Alternatives
Consumers Union of Japan has a history as an alternative voice in Japan and the global community. We do what we can to appeal to common sense, based on the principles that consumers and citizens have rights: the right to know being one of the most fundamental.
The right to protest is also emerging as an important one.
However, as the recent debate surrounding the release of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant shows, TEPCO and the government will do whatever they think is right, regardless of the protests, here and abroad.
We believe there are alternatives, and we will continue speaking up against the mis-management of nuclear power and its supporters.
