Buy Back Nukes So They Can Be Dismantled

There is a way to buy back the nuclear weapons that our tax dollars helped make.
We can now pay to get them dismantled.

On Friday, I attended the screening of "Full Circle", directed by Matt Taylor, founder of Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund.

The movie documents the journey of zen monks returning the flame of burning embers from Hiroshima, to the Trinity Site in New Mexico, 60 years after the very first detonation of an atomic bomb. They carried the flame back, walking the entire way, from San Francisco to New Mexico. The movie is very profound and I hope that the movie is seen by as many people as possible.

The UN has not been accontable for the weapons that were supposed to have been dismantled 30 years ago. Through the Global Nuclear Disarmament Fund, the citizens can now be accountable for the dismantlement, rather than be in denial or be disempowered around the elimination of nuclear weapons.

The non-radioactive scrap metal from the weapons will be re-made into bracelets and various accessories to be marketed towards the younger generation. The proceeds will go to dismantle even more nuclear weapons.

Everyone I've spoken to about this, is ecstatic to hear this.
It gives them a ray of hope. It's given me a sense of hope, at the same time, a sense of urgency and purpose.

It only costs $100k to dismantle one nuclear weapon.
Now, there is a finite number to a problem that previously seemed infinite and scary.

When I lived in Japan, my elementary school had special trips and programs to introduce us to the devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After these programs, I used to have recurring nightmares. Eventually, I learned to control my dreams so that on the brink of a "nightmare nuclear disaster", I would be able to reverse it through my will power.

Now, there are concrete actions that we can take, rather than having to 'will it away'. It's all a dream anyways, but let's make it a good one...
