Cell phone, radio, and television towers act as mass killing machines for migratory songbirds, 5 to 50 million per year.

So, on Monday, tomorrow, I will abandon my cell phone and hook up the land line.

Here's what turned me on to this issue: http://www.towerkill.com via David Malkoff's article "Faulty Towers" from the September-October 2001 issue of the magazine Audubon. This was cited in endgame by Derrick Jensen.

I think Derrick Jensen is the cat's pajamas, the cat's meow, the icing on the cake, and the best thing since sliced bread.

Hi Tim,

I'm not sure going to a landline will help. Much of "landline" transmission is actually done by microwave towers which, I think, are an equal threat to what these other towers present.

You may want to look into it some more before taking that plunge.

The deed is done.
