    It's a bit scary to think that an area that we consider "damaged beyond repair" could actually provide an ecosystem that's in better shape than the animals' current home.

I was once told by a very wonderful person that life will do everything in its power to go on living and that we should take comfort in that, but we should never forget that its our responsibility to do what we can to ensure the life lived is worth living.

If you think the third article is interesting, you should look into Bioremediation techniques for repairing radioactive damage. I read about this stuff from time to time because I'm genuinely worried about certain groups in the green movement promoting Nuclear Energy as a reasonable means of reducing our carbon footprint. I'll save you from my spiel, but sufficed to say I heartily disagree and if you ever asked her, Dala will tell you I am not a fan of nuclear energy in the slightest and if given the opportunity, I'll rant for a good while against it.
