Everyone has heard about Japan's great earthquake and tsunami that hit on Mar. 11, 2011.
You hear about how Sendai was the epicenter of the earthquake and that the Fukushima Nuclear plants are leaking radiation.
But I've found out that a lot of people don't know exactly WHERE on the globe everything is happening.
So I did some searching and thanks to http://www.japan-guide.com/ I found a great map that has everything color coded and marked.

I'd also like to send out my love towards Japan. It's always been my dream to visit there one day and I wish there was more people like me could do. I do my best to support Great Japan by going to functions, or buying items for school clubs that will send the profits to the Red Cross. I just wish there was more I, my self could do, as an individual.
I would love to PHYSICALLY go over there and help clean up and stuff... But eh... We just do our best and support them from afar.
がんばれ みなさま!
Have you ever wondered what Ocean Acidification, marine debris, poaching, and pollution mean? Well, I am here to help. The first step to improving our world is to understand the issues we face. Only then can we work to prevent and counter them. Here I share my adventures in protecting and improving our oceans in hopes that you will be inspired to help as well. Even if it's just spread the word. This way we can all live up to my motto: “From the mountain to the ocean, everything is connected.”

Quickie on Radiation
I know since my last blog post i promised i was going to have more posts up...
But i didn't know what to post about first!
So I'll post a bit about the radiation coming from Japan first.
I feel so bad because people over there are panicking!
They don't really trust their own government when they say not to worry about the scale of the leak. Much of Japans people are hoarding supplies. Especially face masks.
The Nuclear Power plant, Fukushima Daiichi, was ruptured, and was releasing radioactive steam. It's cooling functions were damaged because of several explosions, 3 plants were damaged and the fuel melted and lost power.
Once the power was cut, their went their ability to cool the fuel pool. The fuel pool went up in flames and a large amount of radiation was released into the sky.
Radiation has already hit Tokyo. So it's no wonder why the Japanese are so scared.
I don't think I would trust my government either... They can't stop radiation.
