EHT President Kent Chamberlin helped to secure a historic win for the community of La Jolla in its efforts to prevent a cell tower being placed on a bike path near private homes, a senior care facility, a park, and a preschool. Dr. Chamberlin was the keynote speaker at a town hall held to educate the community about the science behind the risks that close proximity to cell towers can pose to human health. The next day, AT&T withdrew its application for the tower—a huge win that demonstrates the power of grassroots activism!
The community victory has been reported in several publications, and Save the La Jolla Bike Path Coalition Chair Patti Garay expressed gratitude to EHT and to Dr. Chamberlin for the support, pointing out that the timing of AT&T’s reversal, one day after Dr. Chamberlin’s presentation, was “not a coincidence.”
Check out coverage in the San Diego Union-Tribune of EHT’s involvement in this exciting victory, well as at SDNews.com and on the La Jolla community website.
