Fair Warning for Cellphone Users
ABC Cell Phone Video
San Francisco passed legislation this week that requires cellphone retailers to post information about how much radiation the phones they sell emit. The legislation is a shining example of the City's Precautionary Principle, which guides us to First Do No Harm. Visit our cellphone radiation webpage for more information about how you can avoid possible harm and find links to help you look up your cellphone.
