Nuclear: no way!

crowdWhat You can do:

1) Be informed

The biggest weapon the pro-nuclear lobby has is our lack of knowledge about the dangers of nuclear technology, uranium mining and the possibilities and realities of alternatives.

Politicians, the business community and the wider community need to know that people are opposed to the nuclear industry.
