Katie Singer is the author of âAn Electronic Silent Spring, Facing the Dangers and Creating Safe Limitsâ;  and the forthcoming âOur Web of Inconvenient Truths: The Internet, Energy Use, Toxic Waste and Climate Change - How on Earth Do We Shrink the Internetâs Footprint?â
She is a consultant with the EMR Policy Institute, and presented her concerns about the Internetâs footprint at the 2018 UN Forum on Science, Technology & Innovation and on a January, 2019, panel with climatologist Dr. Jim Hansen. She was interviewed at the Jan 25 to Feb. 3, 2019, conference of the the Hippocrates Health Institute by Ben Zeitlin.
In her first book, The Electronic Silent Spring, Katie Singer wrote on EMRâs health effects. She told me that now her focus is on the Internet's energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, toxic waste and worker hazards and surveillance.
Across the United States, telecom providers have begun mapping their plans to deploy 5G microwave-emitting cellular sites throughout neighborhoods. Katie Singer says that: âEvery person deserves to be informed about whatâs happening and whatâs within every householdâs ability to control. How did we get to 5G? Why do we need it? How will it affect our health? How (or can) we prevent it?â Ben Zeitlin is asking Katie Singer some of these questions for RealTruthTalks.
