A popular legend in Japan states that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, you will be granted one wish. Sadako Sasaki, a young child just 1 mile away from the hypocentre of the Hiroshima bomb, began folding 1000 paper cranes while in the hospital due to radiation from the bomb.

The start of September marks the anniversary of the Women of Greenham Common's Peace Camp. The camp began in 1981, opposing Britain’s nuclear policy and their decision to allow US Cruise Missiles to be stored in Greenham and lasted almost 20 years!
