Description
Like a Mexican wave acround the Globe, I am requesting an hour of no wifi, no broadband, no telephone signals to give the planet a breathing space. Increasing research is showing the damage EMF radiation is doing to our insects, birds, wildlife and plants. The question is what are the effects on humans?
When? At 12 noon in your own timezone, beginning with the UK on Saturday 4th April
With the current COVID 19 global pandemic, whilst we are isolated in our homes, nature is recovering at an astonishing rate. Meanwhile a new, untested, technology is being rolled out around the globe, and in space. We as humans have a choice not to use this technology if we don't agree with it. By commiting to an hour free of EMF pollution, we can show that life continues, and even thrives without the latest technology. We may be isolated physically, and may even be thinking that we depend on technology to remain connected, however, as social media has shown, singing, clapping and laughing together from our homes has a huge positive effect on our welbeing.
By commiting to this hour, we are sending a message that we agree to technological advances, ONCE AND ONLY after they have been proven to be safe to our plant and all life on it.
Organiser Paula Carnell
Organiser of Global offline hour, save the bees, save the planet.
Paula Carnell is an international Bee consultant, author and speaker sharing the latest research on bee health. Working with bees and honey producers around the Globe, Paula's passion for honey, and how sustainable beekeeping helps improve the planet is contagious and is inspiring a movement towards planting trees to feed the bees, and supporting honey producers from around the globe, in some of the purest landscapes and with bees feeding on the most medicinal plants.
Her books 'Artist to bees' and 'A quest for bees in Bhutan' are available from her website www.paulacarnell.com
Ilanga-Nature has been supporting Madagascan beekeepers by providing them with the equipment needed to start their own businesses. By promising to buy and find a market for the honey the beekeepers produce, families are able to send their children to school, as well as plant more trees. The country suffered greatly from deforestation over recent years, and poverty meant that felling trees to make charcoal was the only way to make a living. Now beekeeping is not only providing work, and honey, but also improving the landscape as forests are replanted.The bees and trees are then benifitting the rest of the planet with their valuable contribution to the environment.
