Cell Phone Companies Say: Don’t Talk and Drive
Vodafone and Telecom, the two main cell phone companies, have joined the Green party. While this move certainly has ramifications in the political world, it may also affect you.
The green party is a major advocate of banning cell phone use while driving. The main article explains that drivers using cell phones are 4 times more likely to be involved in an auto accident.
It would be nice if the tobacco industry showed such concern for their customers health!
In a related story, a small village in British Columbia, Canada has decided that they don’t need cell phones at all. In a 117 to 110 vote they declined an initiative to introduce mobile service there. They cite studies linking cell phone radiation to brain tumors as a main concern. They also like their peace and quiet. So if you’re looking for a remote and relaxing place to vacation, there it is. I may move there myself!
