Smart meters on your house--You can choose now to say "No"

by Una St. Clair, Citizens for Safe Technology

Smart meters employ radio frequency radiation to send signals  wirelessly 24/7 and for some, this is cause for deep concern due to  negative health impacts, including headaches, dizziness, sleep  problems,  tinnitus and nausea. Rollout is scheduled to start in British Columbia spring/summer 2011. Find out what you can do >> http://www.hans.org/magazine/798/Smart-meters-on-you...

GMO Expert Jeffrey Smith Takes on Monsanto

"Monsanto's Roundup Triggers Over 40 Plant Diseases and Endangers Human and Animal Health." This article (found at http://www.responsibletechnology.org/blog/664) reveals the devastating impact that Monsanto's Roundup herbicide is having on the health of our soil, plants, animals and human population. Now the USDA wants to approve Roundup Ready alfalfa. Please tell USDA Secretary Vilsack not to approve Monsanto's alfalfa by using the letter here: http://action.responsibletechnology.org/p/dia/action...

Early March--Kjaer introduces new clothing line

by Lorna Hancock

There's a new clothing line being introduced in beautiful downtown Vancouver, at Monk McQueens ... and you are welcome to attend! Sunday, March 6th from noon to 3:00 pm.

When long-time HANS member, Kjaer Pedersen, circulated her notice of an upcoming new clothing show, I simply jumped on it. I truly love this little gal, and want the whole Lower Mainland to know about her work. She deserves this support; she didn't hesitate to go to Victoria with us in 2004, when HANS made a presentation to the Minister of Health.

I see Kjaer's line more as wearing her inspired art than clothing. You can judge for yourself. >>http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event...
