Electrosmog and WiFi in Schools

This month I want to introduce you to the huge stressor we all face every day – Electro smog. What is it? How does it affect us? What can we do about it? Be sure to stop by each day for great tips and ideas and good information that will help you to vastly reduce your stress due to electro smog! You don’t want to miss it!

Hi moms.

I’m so glad you’re still here!

Some people are taking some very affirmative action against the kind of stuff we saw yesterday. Here’s what’s happening in New Zealand and Britain:

A British furore over wireless internet technology – Wi-Fi – use in schools is raising similar concerns in New Zealand.

Britain’s top health-protection watchdog wants the network, which emits radiation, to be full investigated because of the concern for students’ health. There are estimates that more than half of primary schools – and four-fifths of secondary schools – have installed it.

But some scientists have expressed fears it could cause cancer and premature senility.

Several European provincial governments have already taken action to ban, or limit, Wi-Fi use in the classroom.

Virtually no studies have been done on Wi-Fi’s effects on pupils, but it gives off radiation similar to emissions from mobile phones and phone masts.

Recent research has linked radiation from mobiles to cancer and brain damage. And many studies have found disturbing symptoms in people near masts.

Professor Olle Johansson, of Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, who is concerned about the spread of Wi-Fi, says “thousands” of articles in scientific literature demonstrate “adverse health effects” from Wi-Fi.

“Do we not know enough already to say, ‘stop’?”

For the past 16 months, the provincial government of Salzburg in Austria has been advising schools not to install Wi-Fi, and is considering a ban.

Maybe we should make a fuss as well? . . .

See you tomorrow with something completely different.
