Happy Story of Sharing Greens

I was going to share follow up stories to the recent earthquake off the shore of Japan and subsequent tsunami and further subsequent difficulties at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. I will share one news photo of a farmer near Fukushima Daiichi having to plow under his hoophouse of beautiful komatsuna (it did not have recorded high levels of radioactivity as I understood it but was from a zone that was essentially banned from selling vegetables).

In contrast, I have a more happy video story to share about eager to help high-schoolers in Yokohama (south of Tokyo and out of harms way) harvesting greens to send fresh vegetables to the displaced people of the hard hit Kesennuma area in Miyagi prefecture.
