This is related to our first main topic of environmental issues, and since it was brought up in class a bit on Monday I thought I'd post some of the resources I've come across. This is an interesting story for the world, and especially for us because we live so close to the area affected. I've also heard that Korean disaster response teams were among the very first to arrive in Japan to help!
Here is an interesting but very sad set of interactive photos. Scroll the mouse over the images to slide between the before images and the after ones.
Click here to see them.
Here are some videos related to the event, and connected to a map of Japan. Click here.
This is an Australian news site that continues to post updates including photos and video related to the disaster. Click here if you're interested in browsing through it.
I also came across this article from the CBC. It's related to the stock market in Japan. I usually find the most interesting parts of these articles to be the comments from the public. CBC articles tend to attract quite a mix of ignorant and informed people, which can make for interesting conversation, though it can also be quite frustrating. Anyway, if you're interested, click here to read the article.
If anyone finds anything else they feel should be added here, do feel free to let me know!
