Caption: Francesca doesn't want to disclose her surname. She's and artist and activist, from Avignon, France, where she's got her art studio and taking active part in the environmental protests around the world. Recent news from Japan makes her so angry, she's decided to protest on her own travelling across Europe and delivering a message to people and politicians to take action and help protect our environment. Last month Japan has begun discharging more than 1m tonnes of tainted water into the Pacific Ocean from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the move which sparked anger in nearby fishing communities and anger from environmental agencies across the world and neighbouring countries and concern among fishers that it will destroy their industry. The operation has been approved by the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency, but been criticised by China and opposition parties in South Korea.
