A group of Consumers Energy customers hopes to get rid of the utility’s opt-out fees for people who do not want smart meters installed on their homes. The group of West Michigan residents, led by Michelle Rison, believes smart meters bring health risks and say the harm of smart meter emissions have been studied by scientists and medical professionals.

Suspicious water customers have reached an agreement with the city of Baraboo over its use of meters that automatically track usage data. Smart meter holdouts James and Darcy Sheriff have allowed the city to install a new water meter on their home, but without the device that allows the data it records to be automatically transmitted back to the water utility.

An international group of organizations from Spain, France, Portugal, and Sweden met in Madrid last month to follow up and take action on the Council of Europe's Resolution 1815, "The potential dangers of electromagnetic fields and their effect on the environment." The objectives are very exciting to those of us who are aware of and concerned about electromagnetic pollution.

Robert Post misses his phone line. Post, 85, has a pacemaker that needs to be checked once a month by phone. But the copper wiring that once connected his home to the rest of the world is gone, and the phone company refuses to restore it.  In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy pushed the sea over Post’s neighborhood in Mantoloking, N.J., leaving hundreds of homes wrecked, and one floating in the bay. The homes on this sandy spit of land along the Jersey Shore are being rebuilt, but Verizon doesn’t want to replace washed-away lines and waterlogged underground cables. Phone lines are outdated, the company says.

A major telecom company patented a system to reduce "electrosmog" from wireless local networks to reduce cancer risks associated with non-thermal exposures to microwave radiation. The industry has known the risks for many years but has failed to act.

With the support and representation of the Citizens for Safe Technology (CST) Society & the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, a class action has been brought against BC Hydro by Salt Spring Island resident, Nomi Davis. The action was commenced on July 25, 2013, through the filing of a Notice of Civil Claim with the B.C. Supreme Court registry in Vancouver.  Smart Meter Class Action Filed

Human spit may be transparent, but it contains a host of information that can tell someone’s risk of developing cancer, according to a new study from Tel Aviv University. In an effort to find a link between cell phone usage and cancer risk, researchers found clues in the saliva of cell phone users. Since mobile phones are typically placed on the side of the face, they are close to the salivary gland. By studying the saliva of heavy cell phone users, scientists found higher levels of oxidative stress – a process where the body experiences cumulative damage by free radicals that were imbalanced by antioxidants – which is considered a major risk factor for cancer.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering changes to the exposure policy for radiofrequency (RF) radiation in the United States. The agency has requested comments be submitted by September 3, 2013. We need to deliver scientific information to policy makers in a credible and understandable fashion to protect the future health and safety of our children and grandchildren. Grassroots Environmental Education has launched a comments web site to help scientists, medical and public health professionals, and technical and policy experts from around the world to submit comments and peer-reviewed publications to the FCC.

Many people who are EMF injured know that cars are problematic-and especially newer cars due to all the wireless installed.  We’ve measured cars for electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) and found in newer cars there are EMFs from different sensors, including air conditioning and braking systems.  The back seat of a Prius is a hot bed of batteries- not a safe place for a long drive!
