WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE metal forests coexist peacefully with natural forests.

What actions can you take right now?

The interaction between electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and human health issues has become a critical social justice concern. There are numerous ways to reduce the impact of EMR on both the individual (human) and the ecosystem, including:

1) Reducing EMR exposure to the human body

Every little action we take can have an impact on our daily exposure levels to EMR, such as deciding to limit our exposure by reducing unnecessary use of wireless devices, choosing wired connections when they are available, and designing our daily habits such that we are not constantly surrounded by EMR signals.

These actions do not have to be anti-technology; they can just as easily be thought of as health-positive, responsible actions.

2) Reducing the impact of EMR on plants and other living systems within ecosystems

Ecosystems and the living organisms living within them (e.g., plants, insects, and animals) did not evolve in a world of EMR. Therefore, to protect biodiversity through the preservation of green corridors and the limitation of the distance between areas of high EMR intensity, as well as by integrating the ecological impact of proposed infrastructure projects into the planning processes for all new infrastructure, is essential.

Now, let's think even bigger!

1) Smart urban design and infrastructure that considers EM exposure levels

The design of cities must take into account biological limits. This includes such considerations as where antennas will be placed, minimizing overlapping coverage areas, placing shielding for areas such as schools or parks, and designing infrastructure that provides the necessary connectivity between people while protecting their health from the negative effects of EM.

2) Providing the public with access to information and building community advocacy

The public should be able to access information relating to EMR exposure levels and the effect of those exposure levels on their health. Government, corporations and telecommunications service providers should all be held accountable for their actions through regulation, independent research and community advocacy. Awareness leads to empowerment, and operating in silence does not.
