RE: Smart meters

We have the same question up here in Northeast Renton, not just about our songbirds and hummingbirds but the vast decrease in all our pollinators in the decade since the wireless networks have been layered in over this whole hillside and even back in the May Creek canyon/wildlife corridor behind us. Thanks to Paul Ouellette for raising this issue to the Renton City Council and Utilities Committee, and to this newspaper for covering the story. Paul isn’t the only citizen who’s “not buying” the cover stories on this. A movie is being made on Smart meters as a health risk to all life, showing how the science has been corrupted by industry backed studies discounting the non-thermal effects of microwave and discounting the affect on the human body (an electrical and chemical form) of electromagnetic frequency ever increasing toxicity in our world. The Telecom Industry (which is responsible  with its lobbyist for the 1996 Telecom Act which allows them to put cell towers all over the country with the public having no right to complain about the locations, numbers, height, number of receivers/transmitters) and local governments in bed with the feds are not listening to the public on this, in fact we don’t even have a place at the table where the deals are made with the utilities and Smart meter industry.

Here’s what you can do:

1) Write a letter to your utility via registered mail with copy to your local government: “I do not give consent for you to take away my analog meter and replace it with a Smart meter.” Add editorial comment: “This is not the rightful role of our government or of our industrial/tech sector, to put our health  and privacy at risk without our input or consent. We wish to preserve our rights, freedoms, and our nature.”

2)Go to www.takebackyourpower.et for a worldwide directory of groups active in exposing  the real risks of Smart meters and to donate to or order Josh’s movie, due May 2013.

3) Go to stopsmartmeters.org for a list of 100 or more municipal governments, mainly in California and British Columbia, that have listened to their citizens and put a moratorium or have voted against more wireless pollution in their communities.

4) By next year at this time you can visit Kenyon Dobson Park, to be gifted to the City of Renton and preserved in its natural state as a woodland habitat without wireless networks or other threats to birdlife, pollinators, or peace and quiet for humans – to hike back to the May Creek Trail system or just relax among the big trees, this park is a gift to Renton by Art Kenyon, who lived here 60 years.
