Canada to Illuminate Landmarks in Yellow for Environmental Sensitivities Awareness
Sponsored by Environmental Health Association of Manitoba (EHA-MB)
What: Please join the Environmental Health Association of Manitoba on May 1, 2025 as Canada unites coast-to-coast-to coast for the first nationwide illumination event to raise awareness for Environmental Sensitivities (ES) and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS). Prominent landmarks across the country will light up in yellow, symbolizing unity and support for over one million Canadians living with these debilitating conditions.
When: May 1, 2025
Where: Notable landmarks will be announced closer to the date
Purpose:
1. Raise Visibility: Illuminate landmarks to foster public awareness of ES/MCS.
2. Promote Understanding: Reduce stigma and encourage empathy for those affected.
3. Advocate for Change: Call for scent-free policies, improved healthcare access, and safe housing.
4. Symbolize Unity: Highlight Canada’s solidarity in creating safer, inclusive spaces.About Environmental Sensitivities (ES): ES includes conditions such as multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), and mold illness. These conditions cause severe adverse reactions to environmental triggers like perfumes, smoke, and electronics, often leading to life-altering challenges such as unemployment, poverty, and homelessness.
The Hidden Crisis of Homelessness and ES/MCS/EHS:
Many individuals with ES/MCS/EHS face homelessness due to the lack of safe, low toxic, WiFi free, chemical-free housing. Exposure to environmental triggers such as smoke, cleaning agents, laundry exhaust, mold, cell towers, electrical devices or nearby pollutants can make traditional housing uninhabitable. Some are forced to live outdoors or in vehicles, balancing between environmental and physical dangers, while some cannot leave their home. This dire situation underscores the urgent need for accessible housing solutions to ensure safety and dignity for those affected.How to Participate: Show your support by wearing something yellow, displaying yellow lights or just sharing a photo of something yellow throughout May. You can add your photos of participation here or send in messenger to be posted.
In the near future we will be looking for photographers in each location to take photos and video and share on the event page. We will keep you posted on locations.
Join us in raising awareness and advocating for safer environments for all Canadians!

3. A map alert for upcoming wireless network installations — in Canada and worldwide
New network infrastructure cables are often installed to feed new wireless-emitting antennas (attached to towers, rooftops, street poles, etc.). This map is called “Submarine Cable Map” because it shows only the paths of cables installed underwater in oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. There are +/- buttons on the map so you can see all of the world, or zoom in at an area, etc. It is astonishing to see how many submarine cables there are, and their lengths! [One article stated an estimated total length of 1.2 million kilometres of cables. I think that was in 2019, and each year brings new installations.]
On the map, for each cable it shows all the locations where the cable is attached to a shore area. You can notice that the page has a search box where you can search by year, up to year 2028. For example, to notice areas where possibly new wireless-emitting antennas will be installed, you might search each of the years from 2023 to 2028. There are other ways to search the map. Also, you can hover over or select any cable or shore landing point for specific details, such as who owns the cable, its length.

You can download the entire 2025 map or select portions of it by scrolling down to near the bottom of the page at https://submarine-cable-map-2025.telegeography.com/. To view or download the map for any previous year, simply change the 4-digit year shown in the link.
Their blog posts are interesting. This landing page shows only a short introduction for each post, so select a post’s title to read more. https://blog.telegeography.com/topic/maps
Friendly reminder: whenever requesting infrastructure cables instead of wireless, please be clear that the request is for “cables that will have no wireless-emitting equipment attached to them.”
4. Different food-for-thought regarding EV (electric vehicle) fires:

Excerpts and then a link to the entire article headlined
“Lewisporte Fire Chief Raises Concerns Over Electric Vehicle Fire Risks”
Jan 28, 2025 | 9:55 AM
A fire fighter in central Newfoundland says he dreads to think of what might happen if an electric vehicle catches fire in a confined or crowded space.
“If this was in a confined area,” says Fudge, “parked on a parking lot, or around a house, or even worse still, on one of our provincial ferries, you get these vehicles in a confined space like that, there’s a possibility of being a real tragedy.”

~ Sent from my corded device using a wired internet connection, with all wireless OFF. A conscious choice. For cleaner air everywhere. For people & planet ♥️
How to practice safe tech & e-hygiene to prevent electrosmog:
♥️ Cords & adaptors (instead of wireless radiation). Prefer, provide & request cords/cables to connect devices & places.
♥️ Downloads (instead of streaming radiation). Prefer, provide & request apps & media you can use offline.
♥️ Awareness. Know what & how to connect non-wirelessly, and help others know.
♥️ Caution. Use caution with all types of power.
♥️ Kindness. Be kind to yourself, others & the environment.
Thank you for helping everyone realize it’s better to prevent electrosmog.
