5G is perfectly fine

While mostly not caring about anything wireless/mobile at all:

Do you see street lights as "littering", too? Or the countless satellite dishes?

Now for something really evil, just use traffic signs as beamforming antenna arrays :-)

Yes, actually. Light pollution is a real problem. Have you seen as many fireflies lately?

That's not what I meant to ask, just the visibilty of those artificial poles all around.

Regarding the fireflies. Not sure, think about 5 to 6 years ago maybe, and in about the same interval in the times before that. They are uncommon here, or have been on their path to extinction back from my early childhood.

Back to your question: There are ways to make them less polluting, by ensuring they only illuminate what should be illuminated, by using the right spectrum, by switching them on demand only, and so on.

I'm very aware of that aspect. But again, that's not what i meant to ask.
