Mame pre vas pripravenu dalsiu konkretnu moznost, ako mozete pomoct ochrane zivotneho prostredia na nasej planete. A za odmenu dostanete darcek. Nie od nas, ale od prezidenta Billa Clintona, ktory, v pripade, ze mu napisete, by vam mal poslat odpoved. Jedna takato trofej s podpisom Billa Clintona uz zdobi aj stenu v nasej kancelarii. A tak, ak ste si este nepisali s prezidentom USA, mate moznost.

Nasa partnerska organizacia Global Response z Colorado, USA nas informovala o planoch americkej organizacie vesmirneho vyskumu NASA odstartovat 6. oktobra 1997 vesmirnu lod Cassini bez ludskej posadky, ale s niekolko desiatkami kilogramov plutonia na palube. Plutonium ma byt pouzite ako palivo do malej jadrovej elektrarne na vyrobu elektriny. Plutonium je najtoxickejsia chemicka latka na svete, smrtelna aj v minimalnych davkach a zivotu nebezpecna po dobu 500 000 rokov.

Pripadna nehoda vesmirnej lode Cassini pocas startu alebo na obeznej drahe okolo Zeme (ako sa to stalo s raketou Challenger) by mohla vylucit toto plutonium do atmosfery a ohrozit zdravie milionov ludi na celom svete.

Vesmirny vyskum sa zaobera aj rozvojom solarnej technologie, tak, aby tento bezpecny zdroj energie mohol zabezpecovat elektrinu pre vesmirne rakety. Prosime, napiste list prezidentovi USA o svojich obavach z jadrovych nehod vo vesmire kvoli ich dopadu na ludske zdravie, poziadajte ho o zastavenie programu Cassini a navrhnite rozvoj nejadrovych alternativ pre ich vesmirny program.

Dakujeme za vasu pomoc. Nasleduje anglicky navrh listu.

Dear Mr. President,

As the world citizen I would welcome your efforts to promote the safe use of energy sources. Therefore I am also very concerned about the Cassini space probe that NASA plans to start on October 6, 1997. I am very concerned about the health risks from nuclear accidents on space missions, that could affect millions of people worldwide. Please, cancel the Cassini launch, because the risk of plutonium contamination is unnecessary and unacceptable. In order to succeed with your space program, USA should promote and develop alternative non-nuclear power sources for space missions, such as solar energy. Dear Mr. President, I truly hope you will do your best to help protect the earth environment and prevent the disaster that Csssini could cause. Thank you very much for your consideration and I am looking forward to hear about the progress you will make in this way.

Sincerely yours,
