[This post is about email signatures. If you also do other types of digital or paper communications that can have manual or automatic signatures or stamps, I hope you'll consider similar opportunities. Also refer to another old post of mine, perhaps the instructions in it would be different now but surely still possible It's easy to Change iPhone's Email Signature.]
I encourage everyone to be pleasant, informative, creative, and even fun in email signatures — for all our communications, whether the communication is for strictly business purposes, personal non-business communications, or pleasant advocacy. You don't have to try to save-the-world with each email signature, but collectively that's what you'll be doing. And you don't know whose life your email signature might hugely benefit or even save!
Put it out there, because you can! Pleasantly. Not always with a URL.
For example, years ago, worldwide many companies' signatures included a point like this:
"Think about the environment before you print this email."
That was stated and widely shared with enthusiasm, compassion, and respect, as a very desirable goal. We feel the same way and the environment will be just as thankful for our email signatures that can make a similarly beneficial impact.
Current examples:
1. For my interactions in my freelance transcribing business, here's what I use. Sometimes a recipient will ask me about it. And I know that it hasn't caused me to lose any clients:

~ for cleaner air we use corded devices to connect with wireless off
2. For my personal (non-business, non-EMF) interactions, I have a large selection of signatures to choose from. These are only a few:
~ for cleaner air i use corded devices to connect with wireless off, i hope you do too
or
~ rockin’ my faster ethernet connection with wireless off
or
~ step away from the glowing rectangle more often

EMAIL SIGNATURES:
An easy way to message
Signatures are
separated by a horizontal line and sorted into sections identified by thicker
lines. To maximize your message, either stick with a favourite, or switch
signatures, or change the colour once in a while. If you need any of the
graphic files or have suggestions to add to this collection, please email EnergyCanaries@bell.net.
GREEN = adds a little humour (humour helps
memorability)
PINK = various tones suit various
senders/recipients
BLUE = general use messages
YELLOW = graphics included
GREY = too much info but if you feel that a
lecture is necessary

Q Why?
A To reduce
1st-hand & 2nd-hand wireless radiation exposure.
F What you can’t
see CAN hurt you. Wireless
devices and networks connect because they continually generate unnatural
electromagnetic waves that flood your environment. These waves are radiation
that can reach inside your body. When your network is off or when you
completely power off a device, you reduce the radiation in the environment and
in your body.

Each wireless communication task performed by an
electronic device sends radiation into your body that interferes with your
body’s normal functioning (whether you notice it or not). Each of those wireless tasks also sends radiation into the
bodies of everyone within the coverage areas of the network your device is
connected to, and into the bodies of everyone within the coverage area of the
network your recipient uses, and into the bodies of everyone within the
coverage area of all the network equipment used to connect the sender’s network
with the recipient’s network. From this moment on, please consider whether
or not your wireless task is so important enough that it justifies physically
damaging your body (firsthand) and physically damaging everyone else’s bodies
(secondhand). If your device is
network-enabled inside a public transit vehicle (even if it can’t connect with
a network), the mostly metal shell of the vehicle causes the radiation to
bounce around so much that passengers can be exposed to hundreds of times more
radiation.
Two
significant reasons why wireless radiation exposure of all Canadians and living
ecosystems is increasing—everywhere outdoors AND indoors—are installations and
increases or changes in operation of outdoor network antennas that in standard
operation continuously emit wireless electromagnetic fields (from towers,
poles, rooftops, and wherever else antennas are installed). The wireless
electromagnetic fields travel into every child and adult body, residences,
private and public buildings and areas, and throughout all communities
(including habitats of flora and fauna) wherever there is network coverage
(weak or strong) provided for consumers or for broader network connectivity.
Presently, Industry Canada (a federal government agency) has authority to allow
corporations that provide commercial wireless services to change or increase
the amount and density of these wireless electromagnetic fields. Presently, any
such change or increase can be allowed by Industry Canada even when non-consent
is formally given by parents, citizens, homeowners, building owners, a majority
of citizens, or a majority of local government located within an antenna’s
coverage area. Also, there are installations and increases and changes in
antennas and antenna emissions that, presently, by authority of federal law can
proceed without notification of anyone within the coverage area of the antenna,
in which cases there is often no awareness of any opportunity for formal
non-consent.
