Technology is advancing, but is it heading in a healthy direction?<\/p>\n

Devices such as radios, TVs, computers, cell phones, WiFi,\u00a0\u201csmart\u201d cars,\u00a0\u201csmart\u201d cards, and \u201csmart\u201d meters, etc. are powered by radiofrequencies. These frequencies, known as electromagnetic fields (EMFs), can harm the body. Headaches, dizziness, insomnia, chronic fatigue, stress, irritability, anger, diabetes, heart palpatations, fibromyalgia, and cancer are some of the health problems associated with EMF exposure.<\/p>\n

With the recent installation of \u201csmart\u201d meters across America, many health advocates as well as the general public are questioning the integrity of this new technology. Are \u201csmart\u201d meters a wise investment in our future or are they a threat to our well-being?<\/p>\n

Guest speakers Ed Friedman and Kathleen McGee of the Maine Coalition to Stop Smart Meters will present the inside story about\u00a0\u201csmart\u201d meters and how this device affects the human body and the environment. With combined backgrounds in Environmental Science, Environmental Justice, and outdoor education for over 30 years, Friedman and McGee will offer compelling evidence about the nature of the \u201csmart\u201d meter, its origin, as well as the politics surrounding this increasingly controversial device.<\/p>\n

Learn important information about\u00a0\u201csmart\u201d meters and what you can do to protect yourself from the harmful affects of this device. This presentation promises to impact your life!<\/p>\n
