1) From Marg Friesen. Sorry for the short time-frame — I was having some internet issues or else it would have been in last night’s update. Please see “Letters” for comments sent to ECCC by Jean Hudon. (name given with permission) Dr. Meg Sears of Prevent Cancer Now has shared her CALL TO ACTION:
– https://mailchi.mp/preventcancernow/milestone-biodiversity-strategy-consultation
I hope you can take just a few minutes out of your busy schedule to write a short email about your concerns about the effects of EMF on all life forms. It takes many voices to be heard.

Ultra time sensitive – CALL to ACTION by Fri Feb 9 – Send comments to ECCC to address EMFs in Canada’s Biodiversity Strategy 2030
Canada is preparing its Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, and remarkably, EMFs (non-ionizing electromagnetic fields) have been noted in the interim report that Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) calls the “Milestone document.”
Friday Feb 9th (today) is the last day for comments on this very important document. Please consider sending in comments.
A “short” version is below. Supporting information and step-by-step instructions on a longer version can be found here:

Also, if you would like a “template” letter, email:
Marg would appreciate getting bcc’d or forwarded messages you send in: marg.c4st@gmail.com

Subject: Comments regarding the Milestone document
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. It is vital that all forms of pollution are listed under Target 7. EMFs (non-ionizing electromagnetic fields) are pervasive and have been shown to be harmful to plants and animals, including pollinators, at very low levels. Relating to Target 14, legislation is needed to address the complete absence in Canadian law for the protection of wildlife and other biota.
Please ensure that these points are included in Canada’s final Biodiversity Strategy 2030.
Respectfully,
Your name, email address and postal code.

2) Patti and Doug Wood of Americans for Responsible Technology (ART) have a weekly podcast devoted to various environmental health topics. I have asked if there is a listing of upcoming topics so people can plan, and if these are recorded for those who cannot listen live. I will let you know if I get positive answers to either or both questions.
Wireless Tech and Our Kids with Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe
“JOIN THE CONVERSATION! Every Friday afternoon at 2pm ET on WBAI-FM in New York, Doug and Patti Wood host their environmental health radio show “Grassroots,” and you’re invited to be part of it! Listen online at wbai.org and call in to talk about the issue of the day. Dial (212) 209-2877.
This week our show focuses on wireless technologies and their impact on children, in school and at home. We interview Dr. Erica Mallery-Blythe about her work in the UK, and the dichotomy between the scientific evidence which argues for significantly reducing exposures, and the continued growth of technology in schools and in the lives of our children. Join the conversation!
So tune in, ask questions and get answers from America’s environmental health experts every Friday at 2:00 (ET) on WBAI in New York, on the dial at 99.5 FM or on the web at:

Then I shared it on 27 other Facebook pages, mainly in Quebec, with the following introductory note:
(translation for you) Excerpt:
“The more of us that do so, the more likely it is that this invisible, impalpable and odorless toxic pollutant will be added to the list of factors responsible for the hemorrhaging of biodiversity in Canada. The rapid disappearance of insects and all the animals that feed on them, including birds, is made worse by the rapidly rising levels of electropollution everywhere in populated areas of Canada.”
To see for yourself, read, for example, the following latest bulletin from Arthur Firstenberg of the Cellphone Task Force at: https://cellphonetaskforce.org/rainbow-lorikeets-dropping-from-the-sky-2/
“It is my observation that mosquitoes and other insects have decreased dramatically in the tropical countries. I have been working in the tropics since 1986. Until recently, I always carried two mosquito nets with me and used them always wherever I slept, at home, and in hotels. Also in Finland in summer. It was the most important item in my bag.
Now I hardly need my mosquito nets. I just returned from the Philippines where I didn’t have to use them at all. In the Mindoro jungle island there were some mosquitoes outside at night but not many. The same is true in other tropical countries where I recently visited, Singapore, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica. The last time I used my nets was in remote Eastern Finland last summer because there were flies in the house.
Insects, birds, and frogs have almost disappeared. The green movement doesn’t talk about the obvious reason.”
