Ada, Oklahoma

Never underestimate what a group of school kids from Oklahoma can do to promote safer cell phones!

This video was created by a Byng Junior High School 9th grade science research team as part of their award-winning 2009-10 U.S. Army E-Cybermission project addressing the human health risks of cell phone radiation. 

"These students approached me directly, having read about my warning label legislation in Maine.  I suggested some ideas and resources to them, and they took off.  They embody the promise of our youth." - Representative Andrea M. Boland

"This is a GREAT video.  The kids really got it and have fun telling their peers." - Lloyd Morgan

Jackson Hole, Wyoming - Schools Get Wired

In Spring 2011, Jackson Hole held the first EHT, Schools Get Wired program. Acting as a model for the rest of the nation, this effort lead by government officials, health professionals, and educators, produced educational programs on cell phone safety throughout the town. 

These efforts culminated in a call to action by every school in the district. The YUBZ headset company sponsored a contest to create Public Service Announcements.
