A bee enjoys a full bloom sunflower at Ikegami sunflower farm on August 1, 2011 in Sakai city, Fukui, Japan. People in Japan are being encouraged to grow sunflowers with a goal of decontaminating soil made radioactive in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. In the process called phytoremediation plants have evolved to live in contaminated areas by eventually extracting toxics from the soil. Sunflowers have been used in the past to suck up radioactive cesium and strontium in a pond at the Chernobyl nuclear accident site back in 1994.
