From the NYTimes: “Water with high amounts of radioactive iodine has been leaking directly into the Pacific Ocean from a large crack discovered Saturday in a six-foot-deep pit next to the seawater intake pipes at the No. 2 reactor.
After an unsuccessful attempt to flood the pit with concrete to stop the leak, workers on Sunday turned to trying to plug the apparent source of the water — an underground shaft thought to lead to the damaged reactor building — with more than 120 pounds of sawdust, three garbage bags full of shredded newspaper and about nine pounds of a polymeric powder that officials said absorbed 50 times its volume of water.” Wait a minute! They’re playing around the health of THE EARTH with sawdust & garbage bags of shredded newspaper??? Did they NOT see the power of WATER with the TSUNAMI??? Do they need ME to go over there and save the Earth?? After all, “ME” is Mother Earth!
When I taught private exercise classes in Stonington, I used to try to “educate”. Then, when I was hit by a sailboat on the Mystic River in my rowing shell, I decided the water was TOO BUSY, so left Stonington altogether to go farming. Now, up here, I decided “educating” is too hard, I’ll just “Build Awareness”. But, I thought I could “save the Earth”. Now, I “real-eyes” all I can do is “Save my own little piece of it”.
