This April – in honor of Earth Month – the  704 No More® Coalition invites you to learn about one of the fastest growing environmental toxins: wireless radiation.

Cell towers, antennas, and other wireless technologies emit harmful levels of wireless radiation, and are rapidly expanding into neighborhoods, beaches, wetlands, forests, rural areas, farmlands, national parks, and protected habitats all across the country. 

Thousands of scientific studies show that radiofrequency (RF) radiation from cell towers and antennas damages the environment, and threatens the future of our children. 

RF radiation exposure has been shown to interfere with the navigation systems of birds, bees, and other pollinators, reducing reproduction in animals and insects, and even lead to colony collapse. 

When pollinator populations decline, food systems weaken, habitats suffer, and ecosystem balance is disrupted. 

RF radiation exposure has also been shown to harm plants and vegetation. Trees close to cell towers show visible damage, abnormal growth patterns, and increased vulnerability to disease. 

While the evidence of harm is piling up, wireless infrastructure gets built out faster and wider. 

The telecom industry, enabled by Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and other preemptive federal provisions, increasingly bypasses state and local environmental and historic impact reviews for wireless infrastructure projects. That means fewer protections for local ecosystems, farmland, wildlife corridors, and local ecosystems—while limiting local control and community input in the permitting and placement of cell towers. 

So this Earth Month, we invite you to become an ambassador of your environment. We encourage you to use this campaign to spark conversations about the environmental impacts of wireless radiation, why environmental protections and local control matter, and to help protect for our children what truly connects us–our Earth. 

Here’s how you can take action this Earth Month:

1. Spark Local Conversations: Organize a small, nature-based community circle or nature walk to discuss wireless radiation and its impact on the environment using our flyer and fact sheet. Invite family and friends to learn alongside you. 
   
2. Educate Local Environmental Leaders: Use this presentation with these speaker notes to educate your local environmental societies, conservation foundations, historic preservation societies, or local land trusts.
   
3. Amplify the Message: Share our digital Earth Month resources and this campaign with your networks. 
   
4. Share pictures from your nature walk or your favorite local nature spots on your social media and tag @704NoMore on all major platforms. Use the hashtag #natureisnotforcell #704NoMore 
   X (Twitter) - Instagram - Facebook - YouTube
   
5. Join the movement at 704NoMore.org: Sign up to our email list, stay informed, and support our effort to restore local control in communities across the country.
   
6. Wear our Merch: Be a walking, talking billboard and inspire conversations by wearing our Protect Life’s Frequencies. Go Wired shirts and hoodies.

Every conversation matters. Every share counts. This is an opportunity to unify with other environmental and community groups to broaden visibility around wireless radiation as an environmental issue.

This Earth Month, let’s protect what connects us.

For our children. For pollinators. For the ecosystems that sustain life.
