abstract: The incident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, resulting from the powerful earthquake and tsunami that struck the northeastern coast of Japan in March 2011, reminds humankind of the powerful natural forces that shape our world. This article calls for a new ecocentric approach to human interaction with the environment, with particular reference to the environmental consequences of radiation.
