Energy Conservation Project

I had a lot of trouble deciding what issue I would choose for my Energy Conservation Project. I finally decided on cell phone use.

I heard that cell phones produce radiation that can be absorbed by humans when using talking on the phone, so I wanted to find out about that.

I also heard that cell phone radio waves were possibly the reason for why the bees were disappearing.

I decided to compare cell phone use with land line use.

Here are my findings:
Cost of Cell Phone Use-
Nokia 6030-free with 2 year contract
2 Year contract with the Local 1900 Plan at $70.00 per month=$1,680 for 2 years.

Land-line (GCI)
$23.32 per month
Over 2 Years=$559.68
Savings(compared to a cell phone package from GCI)=$1,120.32

I found some information on radiation, but the problem with that information is that nobody knows exactly what it does or where it goes, so it won't be valuable until we understand what this energy does.
