The Porto Alegre Resolution
Alegre Environmental Council agreed that the protection of health, well-being and the environment requires immediate adoption of the Precautionary Principle, which states, "when there are indications of possible adverse effects, though they remain uncertain, the risks from doing nothing may be far greater than the risks of taking action to control these exposures. The Precautionary Principle shifts the burden of proof from those suspecting a risk to those who discount it", until new scientific discoveries are recognized as the only criterion for the establishment or modification of non-ionizing radiation exposure standards.

Cell tower ordinance, please
We have a basic human right to be safe in our home, to not be exposed to things which are harmful to us, and governments should support that right - A major concern these days is radiation due to the proliferation of cell phone use and cell towers, especially near schools, hospitals and residences. In the light of the vast amount of evidence showing that cell towers are not safe, a tower in a residential neighborhood infringes on our right to safety in our own home.

We should not be exposed to this radiation against our will.
