Rich deserved the right to know

The San Francisco Supervisors are being pressured by their industry friendly Mayor to repeal their landmark Cell Phone Right to Know law (unanimous vote, 2011); 25 cities & states are waiting to do the same; if  SF caves, they will all stop in their tracks.
According to Dr. Joel Moskowitz, Department of Public Health, UC Berkeley, “the World Health Organization Monograph released last week is likely the most significant governmental health report ever published about mobile phone radiation. All governments should study this report and follow the precautionary principle to take appropriate actions including educating the public about safe use.”
The Monograph states:
"Positive associations have been observed between exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless phones and glioma (LETHAL BRAIN CANCER) and acoustic neuroma" (p.421).

Children are particularly vulnerable as “the average exposure from use of the same mobile phone is higher by a factor of 2 in a child’s brain and higher by a factor of 10 in the bone marrow of the skull.”  

No matter where you live, PLEASE send the email below to the Supervisors now as the vote on may 7 will affect you, your friends, family and co-workers  (pass this onto them please). YOUR EMAILS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Industry has trillions of dollars- WE HAVE YOU!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

Keep Cell Phone Right to Know legislation intact; vote no against the settlement

Short email note (type your name at the bottom, you do not need to add where you reside):
-------------------------------------
Dear Esteemed San Francisco Supervisors,

Please stand firm on May 7 to keep your landmark Cell Phone Right to Know legislation intact; vote no against the settlement. People deserve the right to know advisories at the point of sale related to a radiation emitting device used by nearly every man, woman and child daily. The World Health Organization states this radiation is a possible human carcinogen based on an increased risk of brain cancer associated with wireless phone use.

Please continue to stand with your constituents and not with the telecom industry. Please continue to employ your Precautionary Principle ordinance. You will ultimately be saving taxpayers’ money as brain tumor rates are on the rise and the average cost of initial treatment of a brain tumor is over half a million dollars.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
[your name]

EMAIL SIGNATURES HAVE IMPACT and you can have fun with them

[updated June 15, 2021]

[This post is about email signatures. If you also do other types of digital or paper communications that can have manual or automatic signatures or stamps, I hope you'll consider similar opportunities. Also refer to another old post of mine, perhaps the instructions in it would be different now but surely still possible
It's easy to Change iPhone's Email Signature.]

I encourage everyone to be pleasant, informative, creative, and even fun in email signatures — for all our communications, whether the communication is for strictly business purposes, personal non-business communications, or pleasant advocacy. You don't have to try to save-the-world with each email signature, but collectively that's what you'll be doing. And you don't know whose life your email signature might hugely benefit or even save!

Put it out there, because you can! Pleasantly. Not always with a URL.

For example, years ago, worldwide many companies' signatures included a point like this:
"Think about the environment before you print this email."
That was stated and widely shared with enthusiasm, compassion, and respect, as a very desirable goal. We feel the same way and the environment will be just as thankful for our email signatures that can make a similarly beneficial impact.

Current examples:
1.  For my interactions in my freelance transcribing business, here's what I use. Sometimes a recipient will ask me about it. And I know that it hasn't caused me to lose any clients:

~ for cleaner air we use corded devices to connect with wireless off

2.  For my personal (non-business, non-EMF) interactions, I have a large selection of signatures to choose from. These are only a few:

~ for cleaner air i use corded devices to connect with wireless off, i hope you do too

or

~ rockin’ my faster ethernet connection with wireless off

or

~ step away from the glowing rectangle more often

Here's my gift to the Earth for Earth Day. Keep in mind that it isn't solely humans affected by electroSMOG. I hope you can easily copy-paste from the list below. If not, please let me know by email EnergyCanaries@bell.net. Use 
them in good health!


EMAIL SIGNATURES:
An easy way to message

Signatures are separated by a horizontal line and sorted into sections identified by thicker lines. To maximize your message, either stick with a favourite, or switch signatures, or change the colour once in a while. If you need any of the graphic files or have suggestions to add to this collection, please email EnergyCanaries@bell.net.


      GREEN      = adds a little humour (humour helps memorability)
       PINK         = various tones suit various senders/recipients
      BLUE        = general use messages
       YELLOW    = graphics included
      GREY        = too much info but if you feel that a lecture is necessary

Prefer wired connectivity. Provide wired connections.
Q  Why?
A  To reduce 1st-hand & 2nd-hand wireless radiation exposure.
F  What you can’t see CAN hurt you. Wireless devices and networks connect because they continually generate unnatural electromagnetic waves that flood your environment. These waves are radiation that can reach inside your body. When your network is off or when you completely power off a device, you reduce the radiation in the environment and in your body.

Each wireless communication task performed by an electronic device sends radiation into your body that interferes with your body’s normal functioning (whether you notice it or not). Each of those wireless tasks also sends radiation into the bodies of everyone within the coverage areas of the network your device is connected to, and into the bodies of everyone within the coverage area of the network your recipient uses, and into the bodies of everyone within the coverage area of all the network equipment used to connect the sender’s network with the recipient’s network. From this moment on, please consider whether or not your wireless task is so important enough that it justifies physically damaging your body (firsthand) and physically damaging everyone else’s bodies (secondhand). If your device is network-enabled inside a public transit vehicle (even if it can’t connect with a network), the mostly metal shell of the vehicle causes the radiation to bounce around so much that passengers can be exposed to hundreds of times more radiation.



Two significant reasons why wireless radiation exposure of all Canadians and living ecosystems is increasing—everywhere outdoors AND indoors—are installations and increases or changes in operation of outdoor network antennas that in standard operation continuously emit wireless electromagnetic fields (from towers, poles, rooftops, and wherever else antennas are installed). The wireless electromagnetic fields travel into every child and adult body, residences, private and public buildings and areas, and throughout all communities (including habitats of flora and fauna) wherever there is network coverage (weak or strong) provided for consumers or for broader network connectivity. Presently, Industry Canada (a federal government agency) has authority to allow corporations that provide commercial wireless services to change or increase the amount and density of these wireless electromagnetic fields. Presently, any such change or increase can be allowed by Industry Canada even when non-consent is formally given by parents, citizens, homeowners, building owners, a majority of citizens, or a majority of local government located within an antenna’s coverage area. Also, there are installations and increases and changes in antennas and antenna emissions that, presently, by authority of federal law can proceed without notification of anyone within the coverage area of the antenna, in which cases there is often no awareness of any opportunity for formal non-consent.
