ElectroMagneticFrequency (EMF) Pollution and Ways to Mitigate the Effects
ElectroMagneticFrequency (EMF) Pollution and Ways to Mitigate the Effects
By Preston James, Ph.D.
12–1-2016
Here is a listing of current types of EMF Pollution and some known countermeasures which have been claimed to be effective.
Smartmeters and Dirty electricity: Activists claim that Smartmeters (they are digital instead of the old analog) are NOT UL rated like the old analog ones and that these Smartmeters have caused unexpected house fires and there are numerous complaints of much larger electric bills with the same prior usage, numerous complaints about sleeping problems, headaches, nervousness, agitation and various strange illness emerging. In some localities it is a violation to install any electrical devise to the AC supply system that is not UL rated so folks need to organize into action groups to expose this and stop their use as a public health issue and a violation of state electrical codes.

Healing Our Home

Right now our community is standing on the edge of change. Our fires have provided an opportunity for us took at building codes, land-use policies, transportation corridors, housing, public services, emergency response systems…EVERYTHING that impacts our daily lives into the future that was changed by the touch of these flames.
What an incredible opportunity for improvement!
From where I sit – at my desk with information streaming to me continuously – I see HOPE – CHANGE – an amazing outpouring of love for Sonoma County. Yes, there’s greed and people generating anger and fear – but that’s always been present in our lives. What this fire has brought forth is kindness, generosity, concern, compassion, understanding, and a chance to p a u s e before we move forward.
When the Santa Rosa City Council didn’t jump to re-build Fountaingrove and a new project, but instead said – WAIT, we have to think things through. That was a very good sign.
Yes, people need to go home, but is that the best place to build homes in the path of two of the largest and most destructive fires in Sonoma County history? Maybe Not. Maybe there’s a different – and better – way to think and build.
While we are pondering what changes need to be made to protect us in the future as we re-build what was lost – our land is calling to us for help. And people are hearing the call. It’s a beautiful thing…

Innovative Finance
Shaping the next generation of financing solutions to unlock private capital for social good.
Overview
Global philanthropic funds, even when combined with the development or aid budgets of governments, add up to billions of dollars. Meanwhile, the cost of solving the world’s most critical problems runs into the trillions—including an estimated $2.5 trillion annual funding gap needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing countries alone. Private capital is urgently needed in order to fill this gap and address pressing global challenges.

We know that climate accelerates and complicates almost every other problem—from food insecurity and water scarcity, to sectarian conflicts and refugee crises around the world.
