Cell phone usageRequire Transmitters from

It is making for a kinetic ELECTRICALLY positive-ion charged atmosphere...What are your ideas and what can you do about it:THERE IS NOT ONLY LIGHT POLLUTION but ...the ocean researchers have been...doing their share of irresponsible probing...when researchers search the depths of the ocean to find life that has never seen light does it not blind that life (are the researchers blind to this?)If I lived my life in the dark and navigated that way would it not be destructive to have a glare of dazzling light on my fishy bod...??What ever happened to "CONCERNED SCIENTISTS"And again back to my cell;THE TRANSMISSION TO CELL PHONES FROM THE SATELLITES IS A MICRO-WAVE TRANSMISSION... IT ONLY TAKES 65 MINUTES FOR IT TO COOK AN EGG...they ARE

USED NOW BY YOUNG AND OLD...the RATES OF AUTISM ARE ALARMINGLY INCREASED... Possibly by the Mothers use of cell phones while pregnant???ERRORS BY WORKERS MAGNIFIED BY THE INTERRUPTION'S ALONE Is frightening... what if that is a train dispatcher... a air controller?I don't have to say anything about the driver's abuse of the devise... and the accident rates quadrupling...Multi-tasking is the industry idea to have you BUY MORE the more things you do "tasks"(rather that accomplishments)the more gadgets you will need for these tasks...so you become a task-master and accomplish little.... very little...the interuptions are making the competent completion of anything thoroughly impossibleNEVER MIND THE DAMAGE OF THE phone to the brain-blood -brain barrier...I believe that is the most damaging invention ever...

I find really appalling the amount of lightpollution that goes on all over the place these days. It seems to be a"forgotten" section of environmental damage.Sally.***************************Speaking at a meeting held by the NSCA to discuss the problem,school-teacher-turned-astronomer, Bob Mizon, outlined the goals of theCampaign for Dark Skies and suggested how they might be hit."About 20 years ago almost nobody would have heard of light pollution,nowadays an awful lot of people know about this, he said."Since about 1950 the night sky has more or less disappeared for urbanpeople in this country.

There is now nowhere in mainland England thatyou can see a totally dark sky."According to Mr Mizon's logic, the sky accounts for half of ourenvironment and whilst laws punish those who pollute our land andseas, legislation protecting anything above the horizon is weaker."If you despoil any part of our environment, they'll have you but ifyou block out the night sky, they can't touch you," he said.While Mr Mizon's view may overlook legislation that regulates airquality and emissions of polluting gases, he did acknowledge that themeteoric rise of climate change up the political and public agenda wasgood news for dark nights."Light pollution is wasted energy - it's not controlled and it's notexactly where we want it," he said.And, as we count the environmental cost of energy inefficiency, thereis a growing political and civic will to address the problem. Withdirectional lights that pointed down

rather than across and shutteringto stop beams spilling outwards, the technology and knowledge isalready available, he said."Light pollution is a problem that is so easily solved," said Mr Mizon."Light travels in straight lines, so is it really rocket science toput it where it belongs?"Light pollution is not simply an annoyance for those who wish to seethe stars, but throws natural cycles off balance too.Carol Williams of the Bat Conservation Trust explained howinappropriate light could have a profound impact not just on theflying mammals, but on all manner of wild things from flowers andinsects to turtles and birds.Night light effects bats in many ways, with most species shying awayfrom the glare which can cut down on potential roosting and foragingsites or drive them away from the formerly dark, safe corridors theyused to travel such as streams or hedgerows.The low-light foraging

grounds still available to bats may also have ashortage of insects as local populations buzz around the bright lights.Those bats who are less shy of the light - typically speedy speciessuch as pipistrelles - can still find that learned behaviours such ashunting round an insect-attracting light can leave them open topredation from sparrow hawks and kestrels which have picked up thesame hunter's trick.Those creatures which have evolved to navigate by the moon and starsalso find themselves in trouble.Flocks of migrating birds have been known to steer into tall,illuminated buildings leading to high casualties - in extreme caseswiping out thousands of confused birds at a time as they smash intotower blocks.Newly-hatched turtles aiming for the glow of the horizon above the seaas they have for millennia instead find themselves mistakenly headinginland to their deaths.Many photosensitive plants,

too, are affected by light pollution asthey mistime their blooms or fail to flower at all.The biggest difference we could make, said Ms Williams, was toconsider light pollution when designing developments.If lighting engineers, planners and conservationists worked togetherfrom the outset there would be little problem in creating communitiesthat did not block out the night sky with an orange glow and didn'tinterfere with nature's nighttime habits.Sam BondPRAY FOR PEACE MOTHER TERESA DIDONE PERSON WITH COURAGE MAKES A MAJORITY-EMERSONWE ARE IN OUR SIXTH EXTINCTION- JOIN EARTHFIRSTAND GREENVIBRATIONSYOU WILL BE BORED- HERTZEN SPEAKING OF THE HIGH TECHWORLD 50 YEARS AGO( FATHER OF RUSSIAN SOCIALISM- UNLIKE ENGELSAND MARX FELT PITY- WAS A GREAT HUMANITARIANGet your own web address.Have a HUGE year through Small
