The Disappeara
Back in 2006, I wrote the following article after noticing a disappearance of insects in my environment, which was at the time, Kunming, China. <http://www.rense.com/
However, after living in China, I lived in the intentional community of Auroville, India, which at the time would not allow any cell phone towers on its land and was also pretty much a white zone. Auroville had a very noticeable abundance of insects everywhere. So much so that they were crawling on the walls at night only to be eaten by the Geckos and the ants would be very quick to take away bread crumbs from a table at the cafe.
While I was living in Auroville, I went two-hours north to the city of Chennai (formally Madras) to have a video interview with a university in the United Arab Emirates. I had the local taxi company take me up there and spent quite a bit of time trying to find a hotel as they were either booked or quite expensive. I ended spending about $ US 30.00 for a dumpy room that had no fan and no screens on the windows. One thing I noticed was that in spite of not having any screens on the window and the windows being open all night, not one insect came in the room. I also noticed walking around the city that there were no ants to be found on the ground.
A few years later, when I was back in Japan, I took a trip to Cebu Island in the Philippines to attend a conference on language teaching. There was a garbage can across the street from my hotel. While there was garbage strewn around the garbage can , there were no insects there: no ants, no flies, no nothing. There were however, cell phone antennas plastered on the buildings throughout the city.
Recently, I decided to do an experiment here at my townhouse in Santa Cruz. I poured some honey on brick on my back patio. The honey sat there without one insect coming to consume it for a few days and finally melted and evaporated from the dry heat.
However, this past weekend at Harbin Hot Springs, I saw bees, I saw butterflies, I saw dragonflies, I saw ants, I saw flies, and I even saw a few mosquitoes.
I guess people are too busy consumed with their iPhones and Androids to notice -- to be mindful of -- what is happening in their immediate environments.

This is important. Thank you for posting it. People's wireless habits are stealing their capabilities of thinking and making observations in the real world, and of caring about it if they do notice something for a second.
ReplyDeleteAfter wireless broadband was "expanded" in my area that spring, no more bluebirds.
After 4G came, trees and bushes were browned out. People here call it winterkill, but an area in lower land, a river valley that is somewhat out of the cell tower radiation paths, trees and growth were LUSH with NO BROWNING. I did not see one bush or tree with dead branches or browning of needles or areas of leaves.
Thanks for your awareness.
