“An educated community is a safer community for everyone –
children, families, and neighborhoods.”

-- From The U.S. Conference of Mayors' publication,
“Mayoral Leadership and Involvement in Education:
An Action Guide for Success”
January 2006

An educated community can decipher fact from fiction, thereby persuading all parties to address the issues with minimal spin. An educated community member has the ability to create great change. Spreading the truth amongst neighbors is as simple as sharing one's knowledge within conversation, yet plays a vital role in moving us towards a greater understanding of such complex and emotionally charged issues as nuclear power.
