it seems that the Greenwood Baptist Church, on Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, has discovered an interesting, new source of revenue. They’re letting Verizon install a cell phone antennas on their roof.
Why not?
The money will pay for the upkeep of the church, Verizon cell phone users get better service. Sounds like a win win. Unless you believe that those towers are a health risk…
“For us this was a divine intervention,” Alice Cheng, a member of the congregation told the Brooklyn Paper. “The money will help take care of the church infrastructure.”
According to Cheng there have been few complaints from members of the community. They did, however, receive one anonymous phone call.
“This is a situation of concern for the community!” the caller said mentioning an unproven link between cellphone radiation and brain damage.
I think that we have so much technology in the world to care about the health risks like, brain damage and cell phone radiation in the community. We can’t live without technology. I think that verizion is stepping it up and that this shouldn’t be a problem.
