The document discusses asbestos policy statements by the American Public Health Association (APHA) from 2009 to 2019. It summarizes the key points of the 2009 and 2019 policy statements, which initially called for the "Elimination of Asbestos" and later advocated for "Eliminating Exposure to Asbestos". The document also outlines obstacles to banning asbestos like junk science, obstacles to policy change, and opportunities through education, legislation, and litigation that have led to outcomes like APHA resolutions and bills introduced to ban asbestos between 2004 to 2021.
WHO Report: E-waste Contributes to 23 Percent of Deaths in Developing CountriesSebastian_Alexander
In 2016, the world produced electronic waste (e-waste) equivalent to the weight of 4,500 Eiffel Towers. The Global E-waste Monitor released a report in 2017 which found that globally, 44.7 million metric tons of e-waste was generated the previous year.

Coalition Testimony Group Presentation
Coalition on Nutrition, Food, and Obesity
Identification of the Organization
As a stakeholder in the Nutrition, Food and Obesity Coalition, our main focus is to address the needs of people suffering from obesity and also advocate for better food and nutrition in order to prevent the development of obesity among populations.
The organization’s stand on the issue of obesity is that obesity is very rampant in our societies that it affects even young school-going kids. This isn’t a good reflection of our society and more efforts should be employed to minimize and manage obese cases among populations.
Proposed Bill S.2726
The bill S. 2726 that is referred to as ”Reducing Obesity in Youth Act of 2018” was formulated to ensure that the Public Health Service Act is amended in order to soundly address obesity among children.
The bill proposes that physical activity and healthy eating among children must be enhanced. This can be done through various forums which will involve the parents, teachers, trainers and any other stakeholder that interacts with children.
Our Stand on the Proposed Bill S. 2726
Our organization is fully supporting the Bill S. 2726 because the adoption of this bill will greatly reduce the cases of children with obesity.
Research has shown that kids who are over-weight while young tend to become obese while adults. Therefore, adopting the bill will minimize the cases of obese kids and young future adults.
I personally support this bill because through this bill, the lives of many children will be free from obese complications and a healthy lifestyle will be promoted.
The bill will also enhance the realization of our organization (and other organizations working to address obesity) goals of promoting healthy eating and managing obesity cases in a proper manner.
I would ask all policy makers to vote YES for the Bill S. 2726 as this will be a big milestone in promoting healthy foods and nutrition and, in turn, tackle obesity cases within the human population.
Personally, I have witnessed children who suffer from obesity due to their unhealthy lifestyle. For instance, instead of playing outside, most kids prefer to play video games. This increases their inactivity levels thereby promoting the occurrence of obesity. Therefore, voting YES for a bill that will reduce a child’s screen time and increase his/her outdoor playtime will be a plus to the fight against obesity cases among children.
Research by Alston, Okrent, & Parks (2012) acknowledge that obesity is a public health menace that affects most American population. They, therefore, find it more effective to implement policies that will curb this menace. Voting the Bill S. 2726 will be a major milestone in the fight against obesity.
It is our duty to take care of the health issues of our children since they are the future leaders. For us to maintain a healthy population in the future, more work should be done.

Promoting health and preventing illness among African American men, who die disproportionately from preventable diseases, is a challenging health disparity that has seen limited progress. However, focusing our efforts in places outside of traditional clinical and community settings such as the barbershop has shown promise for ameliorating these disparities.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
