We've been very well programmed to ignore the non-radioactive toxins and greenhouse gasses of our fossil fueled industrial economy.

We drive around without concern in our cars, each one spewing carcinogens like a miniature Chernobyl, and we express outrage if anyone dares suggest that cooking with gas may be hazardous to our health.

We pay little concern to where our household garbage goes, or to the landfills and industrial sites that will be taken by the oceans as sea levels rise.

Of all the toxins dispersed by the same Tsunami that damaged the nuclear power plant at Fukushima it's the non-radioactive ones that did the most environmental damage, but all those are largely ignored because they are so familiar.
