Mommy Goes Green

Over the last several years, there has been chatter about radiation concern when using cell phones.  In France, they have even banned cell phone use in elementary schools over concerns.  Like most similar issues, there are groups and studies on both sides of the fence so it’s up to you to decide how best to use cell phones in your family.

For both my husband and I, cell phones are a necessity for work purposes.  I use speaker phone as much as possible and don’t keep the phone attached to body.   I’m not a big texter but my husband and I will use Blackberry Messenger to communicate when we can.   My bigger concern is always for my daughter as her little body develops so in that light, we try as much as possible ( which is not 100% of the time ) to limit her cell phone use and when she does use it, we put it on speaker ( again, when possible ).

Alexandra Zissu, from The Daily Green, has a list of 10 ways to limit your exposure to radiation by cell phones – check it out!
