Planting Sunflowers In Japan

Public servants and entrepreneurs in Japan are asking people to grow sunflowers help decontaminate radioactive soil around the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. Breitbart reports volunteers are being asked to grow sunflowers this year, then send the seeds to the stricken area where they will be planted next year to help get rid of radioactive contaminants in the plant's fallout zone. The campaign aims to cover large areas in yellow blossoms as a symbol of hope and reconstruction and to lure back tourists.
