	Nuke Id On the Block suggests:	On Saturday Japan will become a nuclear-free nation for the first time in more than four decades. Japan’s central government has made increasingly desperate attempts to avoid just such a scenario, but they have run up against a crippling public distrust. Local leaders have given voice to deep-seated public suspicions that the Tokyo government is rushing to promote the interests of the powerful nuclear industry at the expense of public safety — a situation that many Japanese now blame for leaving the Fukushima Daiichi plant so vulnerable in the first place. I would like GlobalPost to look into this debate. What does the future of nuclear power in Japan look like?
	Treehugger2012 suggests:	Brazil's congress voted last week to ease rules mandating the amount of forest farmers must keep on their land, delivering a long-sought victory to the country's powerful agriculture lobby and a political defeat for the president. For a nation that is home to the world's biggest rainforest and a country considered a reference for how other developing nations manage their woodlands - what does the adoption of this bill mean for the future of land conservation efforts in Brazil?
