NEWS ALERT! THEY HEAR EHT NOW

NEWS ALERT!
THEY HEAR EHT NOW

      This is a significant announcement to all supporters of Environmental Health Trust. They are listening! We are very excited to bring you news to three important developments in the last few weeks. We know you will want to see how much impact your support is having.

June 15

     FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski requests that his fellow Commissioners revisit the rules that determine radiation exposure levels in cellphones. Three of the five commissioners have to approve his request before the FCC formally begins discussing ways to address growing evidence on cellphone radiation and health. 
  


August 2

     Congress announces "H.R.6358 - To examine, label, and communicate adverse human biological effects associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields from cell phones and other wireless devices, and for other purposes." This is a bill that would require labeling on cell phones and a fundamentally new approach to safety and testing--ideas that EHT Chairman Herberman, Dr Davis, Lloyd Morgan and other EHT senior staff have been urging for years! 
 

August 3

     The Washington Post publishes "Cellphone-safety advocate hopes Congress forces the FCC to update its regulations." The article says, in part, "As soon as next week, Congress is expected to say that a year-long investigation by the Government Accountability Office has found the Federal Communications Commission's cellphone-safety regulations are woefully out of date. Congress may also urge the agency, whose radiation-limit rules are 15 years old, to take a fresh look at how children in particular may be affected by radio waves." Read the entire article.

     
 As you can see, all this is happening fast and EHT has been at the forefront of the efforts that have resulted in the issues of cell phone radiation finally getting the attention here in the US that counties around the world have already started talking seriously about. Our work is based on science and our commitment is to safety. And now, more than ever, we need your help. You can see that our work is bearing fruit but the fight is just starting. We've got people listening and now we've got to get them talking. And then we have to get them to act.
