Here are just a few facts most people would like to know.\n• Technology is quite literally destroying nature. . . with electromagnetic radiation from power lines and cell towers. . . 5G could increase threat. Newsweek, 2018\n• 180 scientists and doctors from 35 countries have signed a recommendation for a 5G moratorium.\n• 5G increases body temperature of insects. Pro Natura, 2019\n• A $30 million US National Toxicology Program (NTP) study in 2018 found “clear evidence” that cell phone radiation is linked to cancer.\n• . . . unprecedented exposure interferes with the natural functioning of humans, animals, and plants.\nDr. Ulrich Warnke: Bees and Mankind: Destroying Nature by ‘Electrosmog’, 2009\n• “Birds disappearing mysteriously. . . bees under threat.\n. . . increasing evidence EMF pollution such as cell towers,\ncell phones, cordless phones and wifi is a factor.”\nDr. Andrew Goldsworthy, 2009 The Birds, the Bees and EMF Pollution\n• EMFs can cause cancer.\n(Hardell and Carlberg, 2018) (Soffritti, 2016) (Peleg, 2018)\n• Electromagnetic Fields A ‘Credible Threat’ To Wildlife Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D., Principia Scientific International, 2018\n• “Due to electromagnetic smog, honeybees are often unable to\nreturn to their hives (Harst et al., 2006; Favre, 2011; Sharma & Kumar 2010; Sahib, 2011),\nthe resulting massive loss of workers thenleads to a colony collapse (e.g. Harst et al. 2006; Sharma a nd Kumar 2010), which is why electromagnetic radiation has been suggested as one\npotential cause of colony collapse disorder (CCD) (e.g. Warnke 2009; Sahib 2011)”\nJournal of Insect Conservation (Lázaro et al, 2016)\n• Radiation impacts on wild birds documented nest abandonment, plumage deterioration and death.
