Campaign Groups (EMR EMF)

EMR Safety Network -International"To create public awareness of environmental electromagnetic field radiation (EMR) by providing information about the extent that EMR may be effecting the health of the community at large and that of the individual, and to encourage and support those who have an interest in achieving a healthier electrical environment."

EMR Network The mission of the EMR Network is to enhance local, regional, national, and international efforts to reduce, mitigate, and where possible, eliminate hazardous exposure to EMR.

SAFE (Safe Alternative for Electricity)
The SAFE group was started in April 2007 by concerned residents living in close proximity to the proposed 35 mile (56km) long 220kv Power line from Flagford Carrick on Shannon to Srananagh/Ballysumaghan (near Sooey) Co Sligo.

GREAT (Graveney Rural Environmental Action Team)
"GREAT is not opposed to the London Array windfarm project but believes that the choice of Cleve Hill, a greenfield site, for the substation is entirely inappropriate and damaging to the green credentials of the entire project.

Pylon Pressure (Scotland) "The concentration of new powerlines and mega-pylons into the Beauly sub-station at Balblair will devastate swathes of countryside and communities - all in the name of renewable energy targets. How clean or green is a policy that threatens all it is meant to preserve?"

Miscellaneous 

Campaign for Planning Sanity "Planning Sanity was set up to help local communities tackle adverse planning and development applications that threaten to blight their communities. The site is set up in forums, each forum is intended to be a complete unit providing all the resources needed for that topic." Forums include, for example: Phone Masts; Non-Violent Direct Action; and Environmenal Impact, but not specifically power lines.

Mobile Phone Mast Action Group

Country Guardian "is a UK conservation group which, since 1991, has campaigned against the construction of wind turbines in environmentally sensitive areas. We object because wind turbines convert rural landscape into industrial landscape, and because they are a poor source of renewable energy.

Summary of the long fight to save Barningham High Moor
"Elizabeth Mann is an active volunteer and long-term Revolt supporter. She was a leading opponent of the Barningham Moor wind farm in the Pennines, which was eventually rejected. Her story and advice for objectors is captured in her self-sponsored book Force 10 and a new supplement (November 2005) which counters the government's supplement to PPS22. Elizabeth is also an active member of CPRE in County Durham."
