This Earth Day, we want to draw your attention to the impact of wireless radiation on the gorgeous trees that help us breathe. Trees — and all living things — are, as a matter of biology, electrical and natural receivers of wireless wave forms. 5G and other wireless electromagnetic radiation systems provably harm all flora and fauna, including humans (seems obvious as soon as you look at a cell phone tower. The telecom industry does not sometimes disguise antenna towers as awkward pine tree by accident). Through its Wireless & Wildlife program, EHT has frequently led the way in championing peer-reviewed studies that established a connection between mobile phone base stations and damage to nearby trees and plants. (e.g. Waldmann-Selsam or Trung Tran). In its recent petition to the federal court regarding the FCC’s failure to update its 30-year-old safety guidelines, EHT provided ample evidence to the court showing the scientific research on the impact of electromagnetic and radiofrequency radiation on trees and plants. Page 55 of our attachments list offers a brief bibliography. Feel free to review the rest of our submission if you have the stomach for understanding the ongoing harms.The effect of EMFs on the natural world was also made starkly obvious during MIT researcher Aaron Pilarcik’s presentation at EHT’s Fourth Expert Forum on the Public Health and Environmental Impacts of Cellular Wireless Radiation Exposure held at Yale University. That event resulted in the publication of a special issue of Frontiers in Public Health, which featured a deeply researched piece on the interactions of flora and fauna with natural and manmade EMFs at the ecosystem level.We wanted to share his presentation with you exclusively here on Earth Day. Notable as well, the laudable Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, with which EHT’s president, Joseph M. Sandri, Jr., is involved, took this Earth Day to plant seedlings cloned from some of the world’s oldest redwoods and sequoias, which capture carbon faster and more effectively than newer plantings. One hundred young people from Watts and Antelope Valley planted these seedlings on the grounds of Wolf Connection, a 165-acre wolf sanctuary in the mountains above Los Angeles, which were devastated by the 2009 Station Fire and threatened again by the Eaton Fire in 2025. We are thankful for their work.We can’t pay attention only on Earth Day to the importance of protecting all living things from human-created wireless wave forms. EHT and many others work on this topic every day. We hope that you too will support these efforts!
