Ever since Japan's Fukushima disaster in March, groups have been protesting against nuclear energy. Not only are people protesting in Japan, but they are protesting all over the world. German protesters are part of the reason that the government decided to start shutting down nuclear reactors there. The protesters make signs about how they want to get rid of nuclear energy. They protest in the streets and hope that what they want is heard.
Another group that's trying to solve the nuclear energy problem is the Greenpeace website. The website talks about the risks involved with nuclear energy. It says nuclear energy is "an unacceptable risk to the environment and humanity." Greenpeace believes that the use of nuclear energy should not be expanded, but rather shutdown like my proposed policy for the problem-solution speech. Greenpeace.org is telling people to get involved. They are asking people to tell banks not to fund new nuclear power plants. One of their slogans says, "Help stop the next Fukushima." They make it easy to donate and get involved. The more people that join their cause the faster the world could be safer from nuclear energy.
I find the Chernobyl incident really interesting, and it has been a topic brought up a lot within my family. I had never before heard of the Greenpeace organization! I like how direct, and somewhat dogmatic, they are with their purpose statement. I agree with their message, but even if I didn't, it definitely represents an effective way to address a motivational priority within a motivational speech.
