Planet: Emergency in the Heavens 🛰📡🛰


The following link goes to a message from Arthur Firstenberg, scientist and author of The Invisible Rainbow, regarding actual and potential serious environmental and public health harm from cell phone electromagnetic frequency radiation and plastic. Mr. Firstenberg is one of the first people to have sounded the alarm. Read more at the website for The Cellular Phone Task Force (www.cellphonetaskforce.org). 

Those in power should worry about how many life forms will be killed and species wiped out when it is all over. The people who govern the city where I live have been advised; regardless, the big tech companies and federal/state government agencies still seem to have we the people in a dark grip. We can stop using cell phones and also sue, but systemic change is vital to life on the planet.

In 2000 I visited the University of Washington Library and noticed an atlas from the 1970s containing photographs of garbage that had drifted and accumulated in the Antartic. Humans had already created a monumental degradation of the planet by the 70s.


Scientists map North Atlantic garbage patch Millions of small pieces of plastic are spread throughout the Atlantic Ocean ranging from 4,000 pieces per square mile to concentrations as high as 250,000 square mile, researchers reported in the journal Science. Scientists gathered 22 years of data to compile the most comprehensive picture...
