Lighting Facts Label Amendment to Protect Health and Create Public Awareness
I'm writing to ask you to support and create awareness on an issue pertaining to light. We are effected by the light we use in our homes everyday. It effects more than our eyes ability to see, our brain, health, lives, the lives of our loved ones are greatly effected by the pattern of the solar day and the lunar night, season to season. It influences nearly every biological function we know of - including heart beat, sleep, obesity, cancer, moods and many others.
I'd appreciate your support via this petition to ask our government to place health recommendations for all light technology on the packaging so we can be informed. I'm recommending this take place on The Lighting Facts Label. I am currently working with our government and legislators to ensure that this occurs, but a little grass roots support is always good. I'd like you and your family to be aware of the aspects light bulbs have on your health. I'd like you to be informed, and protected.
We are recommending the light bulbs carry day and night designations so you can make an informed decision.
I don't mean to scare you, because there is great benefit and enjoyment from using the right light at the right time of day and night. We've seen better sleep, performance, moods, cognitive function and an increase in test scores for children if we use light in accordance with the pattern of the solar day and the lunar night.
I'm here to support you. So please, let our government know that you'd like this amendment to the Lighting Facts Label and all labeling to pass with your blessing.
Many Thanks,
