After Japan's recent earthquake and tsunami, which severely damaged a nuclear power plant, cancer rates are going to rise in said nation, with the effects also being felt on the west coast of America, particularly California. 

Radiation has poisoned the air and sea. Travelers are also bringing it to other destinations. The ocean already took a battering from the oil spills in 2010 and this recent dose of radiation emanating from Japan's shores will not help the situation.

Global solutions are required to restore the delicate eco balance of the earth. It is being thrust further out of whack, in acts that are detrimental to humanity. Radiation in food, such as seafood and radioactive items seeping into the ground, will make their way into crops.
