TOKYO — Commemorating 1,000 days after the Great East Japan Earthquake, various events and gatherings to maintain awareness of the Fukushima disaster were held throughout Japan in December.
One of those events, “Let Us Hear Today’s Fukushima,” was held in front of Yurakucho station, sponsored by Tokyo-to Gyosei Shoshikai (Tokyo Metropolitan Administrative Solicitors’ Association), which supports various legal actions for the Fukushima residents.
Five panelists who are working in Fukushima educated the audience about current conditions there. Hiroyasu Shioya, a professor at Fukushima University, stated that decontamination work (josen) is continuing but is being conducted manually by people who are performing tasks such as shoveling off the surface soil and wiping the ground with a cloth. That is time-consuming and labor-intensive work.

Modern industrial society is a fanatical religion. We are demolishing, poisoning, destroying all life-systems on the planet. We are signing IOUs our children will not be able to pay...We are acting as if we were the last generation on the planet. Without a radical change in heart, in mind, in vision, the earth will end up like Venus, charred and dead. – Jose Antonio Lutzenberger, Brazilian Minister for the Environment
