Mobile communications infrastructure is nearly universal, and almost everyone uses mobile devices. This raises the question of how we, especially our children, are affected by the associated exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. As mobile communications technologies advance, democratic, ecological, and health-related considerations should guide the process, including minimizing RF radiation exposure as much as possible.

Climate-neutral for 40 years: In Verden, Germany, a multifamily house was built using wood and straw. Its impressive material and energy concept includes a building enclosure with high-performance thermal insulation made of straw, passive and active solar energy systems, and large electricity and solar heat storage systems. According to a comprehensive life cycle assessment, the building will be climate neutral for the first 40 years, after which it will continue to emit minimal amounts of carbon dioxide.
