Ljubljana, 26. april 2008 – Pred 22 leti je na današnji dan v Černobilu v Ukrajini prišlo do nesreče v jedrskem reaktorju, posledice pa so občutne še danes. Obletnico v Focus društvu za sonaraven razvoj obeležujejo z objavo spletne strani z informacijami o jedrski energiji ter ozaveščevalno akcijo v Okoljskem centru v Ljubljani.

Okoljevarstvene organizacije Focus, Umanotera in Greenpeace so danes ministra Podobnika pozvale, da se javna sredstva raje namenijo za naložbe v zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov kot za nakup kuponov iz tujine.

Več informacij je v posredovanem pozivu ministru.
