AGAINST a T-Mobile 150' (15 story) cell tower at Margaret Harris Comprehensive School
Check out these photos to see how T-Mobile represents their proposed tower versus in life scale what 150 feet tall really looks like. The car in the picture is a full-size, quad-cab Tundra pickup truck — that stands 6’10″ off the ground.
This is what you will really get, dressed up as a "tree." Taken in Toco Hills.
A truthful representation? This is how T-Mobile would like you to picture the giant redwood tree/tower proposed for Margaret Harris.

Yesterday we kindly asked the ACS to update their site, which has not been updated since mid-2010. Got a nice response that my comments had been forwarded to the review committee (presumably for the website). You can lodge your own comments here (select in drop-down box: Questions/Comments about the website).
To ACS:
Please consider that many people look to ACS for accurate and current information. Much of the scientific community agrees now that there is a lack of adequate study on long term exposure to RF (whether from phones or towers) and that conclusions should not be drawn in favor of a ubiquitous label of RF radiation being “safe.” It is particularly worrisome to me that the current page does not clearly highlight this fact, and instead seems to argue that RF exposure is indeed safe.

Here is a copy of the plan for the tower that puts the tower less than 200 feet (192′ to be exact) from the door where every day children are dropped off by bus. In case you were wondering, there are published studies in the US as recently as 2010 documenting that children are more susceptible to RF radiation.
If you would like a yard sign placed in your yard, please contact us with your name and address. We’ll bring one right over!

Sent this email to the principals of Margaret Harris and IHM tonight:
The local neighborhood, which contains a number of health care professionals, have been collecting published scientific studies investigating the safety of these large cell towers. On our site posted a number of published scientific, peer-reviewed articles and information regarding documented health effects.
Please take a few moments and check out our site page here: http://briarcliffheights.org/
We are deeply concerned for the health and safety of the entire neighborhood, including your students. We urge you to research this issue on your own.
Regards,
Briarcliff Heights Community Action Group
In case you needed even more proof that these towers are dangerous, take a look at all the notices on the next closest 150′ tower located near Toco Hills (LaVista Road and N. Druid Hills). Worker’s health is important enough for the Federal Government to issue these OSHA-style warnings to workers.
