Bev!
Congratulations on Minister Paradis's actions to stop the exportation of asbestos. Perhaps, he might focus now on our imports of those wireless radiation devices whose operation constitute long term health hazards, effect premature ageing, and lead to abortive cell division.
Have you wondered why the Ontario landscape looks as ugly as it does or are you under the illusion it is still beautiful and bountiful. Just count the tall trees which are disappearing like the tall masters of yesteryear, like in some parallel Greek tragedy of tomorrow.
Who is listening or taking notice of the negative experience of EMF elsewhere around the world? When does concern turn to action and prevention, or do you believe the message is mythological and the causal linkages imaginatively immaterial?
My operative model says that we need to begin to think of all forms of radiation as hazardous especially as we send people into outer space and across the world in metal boxes that resemble microwave ovens.
Psychologists tell us you don't perceive negative changes that progress slowly. Look around you as an artist would!
Ultra violet sun beds are now considered cancer risks as is artificial ultra violet light.
EMF radiation goes right through you, but is known to alter chromosome numbers/members in DNA and cell environment of telomeres that affect the ageing and cell division processes so important to all forms of life.
There is a reason why nuclear waste is stored in salt. It's damage occurs so rapidly we notice it. We do not notice ultra violet light damage so much except that it costs us megabucks replacing carpets and all forms of natural materials. Our health system costs mega mega bucks a people suffer from thousands of pollutants that directly result from bad environmental choices.
Do we want our children to live in a world without life?
Your carpet ages in the sun. You age in the sun. You also age from within because of radiation. We see it in the case of nuclear energy and radar, but ignore it in the case of communications technology. Makes no long term sense!
Free us from ageing too rapidly or dying painfully.
Experiential thoughts,
