SafeTech Declaration
Industry tells us that this entirely untested technology will be “revolutionary and transform our lives”. Yet, increasingly people realize that 5G threatens our health, well-being, and privacy, and casts a menacing shadow over our world.
There is too much at stake now to leave our future in the hands of vested economic interests and unconscious actions.
We envision and seek to ensure a world where 5G, 6G or any other “G” is replaced by safe technology that has undergone scrutiny to ensure the health and well-being of all life on the planet.
We envision and seek to ensure a world where respect for life takes precedence over corporate self-gain.
We envision and seek to ensure a world where people are connected face-to-face and heart-to-heart, and not consumed by ubiquitous virtual connectivity.
We envision and seek to ensure a world where the increasingly frenetic pace of hyper-connectivity is slowed down so we can once again connect to our own humanity.
We envision and seek to ensure a world where the pursuit of “faster”, “bigger” and “more” is replaced with contentment from “just enough”.
In short … a future that respects and protects all life on this planet.
We call on all people to heed the growing voices of scientists, medical doctors, engineers, mothers, regenerative farmers, wildlife protectors, promoters of biodiversity, ecology, and localization — And above all, to tune into the still small voice within each one of us that warns we must halt the “race to 5G” and consciously chart a wiser and safer course into the future.
