Welcome to BRISTOL RESIDENTS FOR SAFE TECHNOLOGY.
“Our strength is in the science.” We are an evidence-based group raising awareness of harms from radiofrequency radiation (RFR) including the current rollout of 5G Technology. We focus on credible information which comes from peer-reviewed journal articles, with references and citations. Authors and publishers must be independent from, and unencumbered by, conflicts of interest and ties with the telecoms and other industries.
Our responsibility as a group is to present only those discoveries that have been submitted to rigorous examination by experts. Moderators and administrators of this page are responsible for ensuring this page carries the highest standard of content possible.
We recognize that 5G is the latest development in many other destructive and oppressive policies worldwide. Please seek other forums for discussion of how these policies intertwine with RFR. We request that discussion here remains focussed on the harms of radiofrequency and the need for safe technology.
Relying on the science, we will be able to inform our neighbours, community groups, elected representatives, and support them to amend policies, introduce new ones, and encourage transparency and democratic decisions about the technology that affects us all.
Bristol’s Refuse the 5G Masts campaign is currently underway. We welcome your participation. Please go to stop5g.co.uk/Bristol.
"We have an ambition to connect our British customers to 4G, 5G WiFi 100% of the time.” - Marc Allera, CEO of BT’s Consumer division.
How would you feel if I were to tell you that at some point soon you will have a small cell phone unit (transmitter) installed on the street outside yours or your neighbour’s home. Perhaps just outside yours or your child’s bedroom window? How about one cell tower for every 1-12 houses all along your street. Please study the graph image below and then answer that question. Imagine if all the trees in your street were cut down in order to lay the way for this 5G technology so you will have uninterrupted phone reception, all of the time.
In 2019, more than 16 British cities began to lay the groundwork for the 5G network. Bristol and MANY other cities were one of the first and have ALREADY BEGUN the extensive infrastructure plans both above and underground. This will essentially mean that in all areas, even rural places, they will be installing small cell transmitters every 1-10 houses. How do you feel about that?
Please, pick up the phone and call your local lawmakers the local council, address political party leaders in your community and tell them that you are NOT okay with this. Speak to your neighbours, your friends & your family and share your concerns. We need many more voices in order to be heard. I implore you to do your own research into the detrimental health affects 5G will have on ours & our children’s health & mental wellbeing. Make sure that your research is sourced from independent (not industry related) studies such as the work by esteemed scientists Dr. Anthony Miller, Dr. Magda Havas, Dr. Sharon Goldberg, Dr. Devra Davi (who is exceptionally outspoken in this field). If you scroll further down there are links to literally dozens of informative pages, documents, groups, scientific studies, videos and articles (with MUCH appreciation to The (US based) Environmental Health Trust for assembling this incredible amount of information🙏) https://ehtrust.org/resources-to-take-action-on-us-5g-streamlining-bills/
Internationally, HUNDREDS of scientists have signed an appeal to the World Health Organisation for PROTECTION from EMF radiation exposure. - EHT (Environmental Health Trust) We hope this number will continue to grow exponentially. Join the movement and call on health and safety agencies to protect the public. We must inform them and hold them accountable.https://www.5gspaceappeal.org/about
A famous man once said: “There is no person living who isn't capable of doing more than they think they can do.
TAKE ACTION:
UK Petition: Requesting - Launch an independent enquiry into the health and safety risks of 5G. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/233707
10,000 signatures = government will respond to this petition 100,000 signatures = petition will be considered for debate in Parliament. Petition is open till June 2019. Please share far & wide!
You can contact your local council, politicians, councilors & law makers. You can find out who they are in your specific area, here: https://www.writetothem.com and here: https://www.bristol.gov.uk/council-and-mayor
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has" - Margaret Mead
Please help to spread awareness so that we can have this 5G deployment halted until an independent health enquiry has been extensively & adequately undertaken to prove that 5G and the IoT proves no concern to us and the environment. Our children's health is non-negotiable.
Please keep scrolling down for lots more educational links :)
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
