Rather, it was the nuclear crisis that developed in the following days.“A lot of people commented at the time of the disaster, ‘Well, you know, it wasn't that bad; nobody died [from the radiation].” And I really thought—because I was there on the ground and I experienced it personally—that they were missing a crucial part of the environmental destruction and the poisoning of our Earth,” she explains.Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2EasuEs.Be a hero!
