Climate change poses significant risks to human health according to this document. Rising temperatures increase heat-related illnesses and exacerbate respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Climate change also facilitates the spread of infectious diseases by lengthening transmission seasons and expanding the habitat of disease carriers like mosquitoes. Wildfires, which have increased in intensity due to climate change, negatively impact respiratory health. Climate change is also linked to worsening mental health issues and reduced nutritional content in agricultural crops.
This document summarizes the health impacts of climate change and extreme heat. It discusses how heat waves can cause heat-related illnesses and exacerbate existing chronic diseases. Historical heat waves like those in Europe in 2003 and California in 2006 resulted in thousands of excess deaths. As the climate changes, heat waves are expected to become more frequent and severe. This will disproportionately impact vulnerable populations and exacerbate health inequities. The document calls for actions like developing cooler and greener communities, improving preparedness and response plans, strengthening public health surveillance, and protecting outdoor workers from extreme heat.
The document discusses the negative health impacts of air pollution. It notes that air pollution is a major risk factor for diseases like asthma, emphysema, lung cancer and heart attacks. Key pollutants discussed are ozone, particulate matter and nitrogen oxides which come primarily from traffic and power plants. Exposure to ozone and particulate matter is linked to increased asthma attacks, respiratory infections, and cardiac issues. Children and the elderly are most vulnerable to the health damage caused by air pollution. The document advocates for prioritizing improvements to air quality in decision making.
Global warming is one of the most pressing problems facing humanity today, along with climate change, pollution, deforestation, and freshwater resource depletion. It is very likely caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases from human activity, which diminishes ecosystems' ability to naturally adapt. Two main types of air pollution - smog and soot - pose health and environmental risks, with particle pollution being more dangerous. Deforestation damages habitats and biodiversity when sufficient reforestation does not occur. Freshwater resources are vital but many face shortages due to factors like population growth and surface water pollution. Conservation of energy resources through efficient use and reduced consumption can help address these issues. Educating people about environmental problems and promoting recycling

The presentation emphasizes the need for cross-sectoral approaches and accounting for health in climate change planning.
Climate change poses serious risks to children's health globally and in Sri Lanka. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and sea level rise are exacerbating health issues like diarrheal diseases, respiratory illnesses, and dengue. Sri Lankan children are especially vulnerable due to increased heat, floods, droughts, and growth of vector-borne diseases. The government has created adaptation strategies but more needs to be done to strengthen disaster response, disease surveillance, nutrition, and build climate resilience in children. Mitigation through carbon emission reduction on a global scale can help limit future health impacts.
Global warming is an increase in Earth's atmospheric and oceanic temperatures widely attributed to human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases. The primary causes of global warming are the release of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere from human activities such as burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation, as well as from deforestation, agriculture, and industrial processes. If unchecked, global warming is predicted to have serious future effects including continued sea level rise which threatens coastal cities and islands, increased frequency and severity of hurricanes and other extreme weather events, widespread species extinction as animals and plants struggle to adapt to changes in climate and habitat loss.

1) Climate change is already occurring and human activities are contributing to increased greenhouse gas emissions and rising global temperatures. This will have widespread health impacts.
2) Public health professionals have an important role to play in both mitigating (reducing emissions) and adapting to the health impacts of climate change through emergency preparedness, advocacy, and promoting behaviors and policies that are good for both health and the environment.
3) Many strategies for mitigating climate change through reducing emissions from transportation, buildings, agriculture and other sectors also provide significant public health co-benefits
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheathing around nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This damage to myelin interrupts signals from the brain and causes various symptoms such as fatigue, numbness, vision problems, and more. There are four types of multiple sclerosis and while it is not usually fatal, it can cause disability. The causes of MS involve both genetic and environmental factors such as genetics, infectious agents like Epstein-Barr virus, low vitamin D levels, and smoking. Currently there is no cure for MS but treatments can help reduce relapses and manage symptoms.
This document discusses several human activities that can damage ecosystems: forest fires which kill living things, air pollution from greenhouse gases causing global warming, housing developments, and water pollution from chemical dumping which can destroy ecosystems.

El mundo es de colores, donde hay luz, hay color. La percepción de la forma, profundidad o claroscuro está estrechamente ligada a la percepción de los colores.
El color es un atributo que percibimos de los objetos cuando hay luz. La luz es constituida por ondas electromagnéticas que se propagan a unos 300.000 kilómetros por segundo. Esto significa que nuestros ojos reaccionan a la incidencia de la energía y no a la materia en sí.
Las ondas forman, según su longitud de onda, distintos tipos de luz, como infrarroja, visible, ultravioleta o blanca. Las ondas visibles son aquellas cuya longitud de onda está comprendida entre los 380 y 770 nanómetros.
Los objetos devuelven la luz que no absorben hacia su entorno. Nuestro campo visual interpreta estas radiaciones electromagnéticas que el entorno emite o refleja, como la palabra "COLOR".

Climate and your Health: California VersionWendy Ring
Presentation on present and future health effects of climate change in California with an emphasis on the San Joaquin Valley (this slide set doesn't yet have speaker notes included)
The document discusses childhood illnesses in developing countries and their contributing environmental factors. It notes that over 3 million children die each year from environment-related causes. Key factors include unsafe water and lack of sanitation, air pollution both indoors and outdoors, rapid urbanization, and malnutrition. Solutions proposed are improved access to clean water, safer cooking technologies, education, and integrating health policies with energy and climate initiatives. The World Health Organization aims to address these issues through various programs.
This document discusses various topics relating to environmental health, including water quality, waste disposal, food safety, disease control, population growth, pollution, and ways for individuals to help address environmental issues. It covers how environmental health aims to prevent diseases spread through interactions with the environment. Key concerns discussed are water treatment, sewage, food inspection, insect/rodent control, air and chemical pollution, radiation, noise, and the impacts of a growing global population.
It related to pollution and causes and effects of it on society and community. It includes all types of pollutions and also the diagnositic or the prevetive measures . It includes Modifying a production process to produce less waste. Using non-toxic or less toxic chemicals as cleaners, degreasers and other maintenance chemicals. Implementing water and energy conservation practices. Reusing materials such as drums and pallets rather than disposing of them as waste.
The document discusses how environmental toxins are negatively impacting human health and contributing to conditions like immune dysfunction, diabetes, obesity, ADD, and cancer. It outlines how biochemical, neurological, bioenergetic, emotional and spiritual aspects of health can be affected by factors like toxic chemicals in food, water, air and consumer products as well as lifestyle choices. Specific toxins that are highlighted include dioxins, perchlorate, and endocrine disrupting chemicals which can impact hormone levels, brain development, and other bodily functions.
What are the critical challenges the world faces in meeting international climate change and sustainable development targets? That was the topic of discussion at a side event this week hosted by Future Earth and its partners at the Bonn Climate Change Conference.

The document also provides examples of health impacts from climate change and health benefits from climate policies.
Biomass Energy and Health in Humboldt CountyWendy Ring
This document summarizes the health impacts of biomass energy in Humboldt County. It finds that the county's 3 aging biomass power plants are major polluters that emit more pollution per megawatt hour than comparable coal plants. Their emissions include fine particulates and other toxins that are linked to increased emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and premature deaths from respiratory and heart conditions. Over 30% of the county's population is vulnerable to these health effects. However, regulatory oversight has been inadequate, and the plants have limited potential for improvement given their age. In conclusion, phasing out the biomass plants would meaningfully reduce health costs and risks for the county.
Households, are the smallest part of community, and we can start influencing people from the smallest part like this. These are small things that we can do to save the world.
The document discusses the complex causes of human health risks. It identifies factors like water, geology, ecology, weather, climate change and pollution that can impact health. Personal lifestyle choices like smoking and diet are identified as health risk factors, as well as broader factors like quality of housing, work environment and road safety. A case study on a cholera outbreak in London in the 1800s highlights how the physician John Snow used epidemiology to study its causes and transmission through water.

However, the document emphasizes that solutions are possible if communities take steps to reduce emissions and better prepare for climate impacts through policies, individual choices, and coordinated public health efforts. Addressing climate change requires both mitigating further warming and adapting to effects that can no longer be avoided.
Making the Climb — Rotarians Taking on Environmental Humanitarian ProjectsRotary International
How does environmental sustainability support Rotary’s
areas of focus? Members of the new Environmental
Sustainability Rotarian Action Group (ESRAG) will share
information and projects that promote environmental
sustainability and climate change awareness in addition to
how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate
disruption. Learn how to identify, plan, and implement local
and global environmental projects and how ESRAG can help.
The document discusses various topics related to pollution and human health. It defines health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being that involves more than just the absence of disease. Poor health can result from issues like poor nutrition, obesity, and lack of physical activity. The three main types of pollution are air, water, and land pollution. Air pollution can cause respiratory illnesses and cancer, while water pollution spreads diseases and contaminates food sources. Maintaining good hygiene is important for preventing infection and protecting overall health.
This document discusses how human activities negatively impact air quality, climate change, forests, and biodiversity, which affects human health. It outlines how increased air pollution from automobiles, factories, and power plants can cause respiratory issues. Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation, is linked to various health problems. Deforestation reduces environmental services like carbon absorption and increases flooding risks. Potential solutions proposed include reducing pollution, transitioning to renewable energy, and establishing more nature reserves to help mitigate these issues.
The document discusses PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), their industrial uses, health effects, and impact on reproduction and neurodevelopment. It summarizes studies finding associations between PCB exposure through contaminated fish/oil consumption and reduced birth weight, gestational age, and IQ in children. While effects on human reproduction are unclear, some studies link specific PCB congeners to impacts on sperm quality and morphology.

Air pollution and public health in CaliforniaWendy Ring
Grand rounds presentation on health impacts of air pollution in California with emphasis on California based research findings, local impacts in Northern California, and future effects of climate change
Climate 911, a national network of health professionals and students, is touring California's Central Valley this summer with a bilingual puppet comedy show called D.O.G.S. that promotes climate solutions and their health benefits. The show aims to entertain children and adults in both English and Spanish by following two dogs who train their owners to cut carbon pollution in half. Health professionals want to educate people that climate solutions can reduce chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes and asthma while saving lives and money. The Central Valley faces some of the worst air pollution and highest chronic disease rates in California, so it stands to gain the most from adopting climate solutions.
Presentation for Women's Clubs about Climate and Maternal/Child HealthWendy Ring
Climate change is negatively impacting human health in several ways. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide that is trapping heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet to warm. This is exacerbating air pollution like wildfire smoke and ozone, triggering asthma attacks. Higher temperatures also increase the growth and spread of allergens and molds. Warming leads to more extreme weather like heat waves and flooding, spreading waterborne illnesses. Reducing emissions through climate action could prevent hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and cases of heart disease, diabetes and cancer each year.
CLIMATE AND HEALTH NZ For General AudiencesWendy Ring
Climate change is projected to negatively impact health in New Zealand through increased heat waves, harmful algal blooms, mosquito-borne diseases, and mass dislocation of refugees. Warmer temperatures will lead to more frequent and severe heat waves, increasing heat-related illnesses and deaths. Warmer oceans are promoting algal blooms which produce toxins that accumulate in shellfish. This poses risks of paralytic shellfish poisoning and liver diseases from algal toxins. Rising temperatures also increase bacteria like Vibrio in shellfish and allow mosquitoes that transmit diseases like dengue to potentially establish in New Zealand. Mass migration of climate refugees from poorer countries may introduce diseases like tuberculosis to New Zealand.
CLIMATE AND HEALTH IN NEW ZEALAND- Medical AudiencesWendy Ring
Climate change is affecting health in New Zealand through increasing temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and rising sea surface temperatures. This is leading to more heat-related illnesses and deaths, increased risk of food poisoning and shellfish toxins, and potential for mosquito-borne diseases to emerge. Warmer conditions allow disease-carrying mosquitoes to survive and expand their ranges, bringing threats like dengue fever closer to New Zealand.
This document provides a comprehensive literature review on the relationships between climate change and human health, organized by topic. It includes over 50 references from public health organizations and peer-reviewed studies on issues such as extreme heat, food insecurity, infectious diseases, water contamination, air quality, and the health benefits of reducing emissions. The references document the impacts of climate change on physical health outcomes and suggest strategies for public health adaptation and mitigation.

WHY CLIMATE CHANGE IS A WOMEN&apos;S ISSUE: our job has just begun when our babies are born. Our families and communities need us to look after their health.
There is a difference between deniers and denial. We&apos;ve been in denial, just waking up. Thank you for being willing to listen. The first part of this talk will expose you to some harsh and uncomfortable reality. I want to make sure you understand in your gut why we have to act, and then we&apos;ll talk about solutions.
Admiral Samuel Locklear, Commander of the Pacific Command- supreme military authority for all branches of our Armed Forces of the in the Pacific Region. In the chain of command he is just below the Secretary of Defense.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS #1 THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY- THREAT MULTIPLIER
Adm Locklear is talking about DANGER FROM OUTSIDE. I&apos;m here to talk to you about dangers within our borders. How climate change takes problems we already have and magnifies natural processes to put our families&apos; health in danger.
Climate change effects: longer hotter drier summers, shorter, (mostly) warmer winters, more extremes: drought, floods, big storms
Children are vulnerable to increased environmental health risks from climate change. Climate change&apos;s propensity to increase the formation of natural toxins and mobilize heavy metals and pollutants have a disproportionate effect on the young because their organs are still developing and because per pound of body weight, children inhale more air, eat more food, and drink more water than adults.
DIRTY DOZEN DDT was first example. Live a long time, transported long distances, magnify up food chain, stored in our fat.
Dioxin in smoke, deposited on range and farmland resulting in human ingestion and accumulation in fatty tissues. 80% of dioxin exposure is from beef and dairy
PAH also in wildfire smoke adhered to very fine particulates. In addition to consumption of contaminated food , Inhalation is a signifcant exposure route, can cause lung cancer. PAHis very persistent. levels are used by paleontologists studying prehistoric fires.
Runoff from burned areas, has higher levels of PAH than urban runoff.
Pollutants that are volatile, that change to a gaseous form at natural temperatures, move from soil to air and then condense back to liquid and drop into soil or water when they meet cold air. Grasshopper effect or global distillation. Works its way up the food chain, Fish can bioconcentrate from 3,000 to more than 200,000 times concentration in water. 50% of US women of childbearing age have significant levels of PCBs.
Legacy from unleaded gasoline. In soil dust, inhaled.
30% of kids with lead poisoning don&apos;t have lead paint in their homes.
Lead goes from blood to be stored in bone.Analysis of skeletons: Body burden of lead 500-1000x higher than pre-industrial. No safe level. Causes brain damage
Pregnant woman&apos;s bones provide calcium during pregnancy, lead goes back into blood and to baby.
Elevated mercury in cord blood tripled risk of developmental delay at 1 year, 300,000 to 600,000 babies each year. Iowa standard is double the EPA standard.
Climate change increases the burden of toxins our daughters will pass to their children.
83% had PCBs, lead, mercury or some combination of the 3, any one of which can harm fetal brain development.
Active wildfires emit large quantities of fine particulates, enter deep into lungs and pass into bloodstream. Fires are associated with PM2.5 levels as high as the smog in Beijing. Compared with pregnancies before and after the wildfires, moms exposed to wildfire smoke in CA 2003 gave birth to babies with lower birth weight up to 3-9 gms depending on trimester of exposure. Exposure during infancy results in poor lung development and ability to fight infections. Exposure at any age- ER visits for asthma/COPD, hospitalization for pneumonia
Unused fertililzer not taken up by drought stunted plants will sink down into groundwater with next rain and also run into rivers and lakes, increasing HABs
Bladder Colon Stomach Thyroid Cancer suspected
$7000 per day Des Moines to remove nitrate
Almost half of the water samples in a statewide survey of 475 wells contained arsenic, with high levels documented in 31 Iowa counties.
Low birth weight, neonatal infection, abnormal gene expression. Carcinogen- toenail arsenic double risk for melanoma, squamous nad basal cell ca.
TERATOGENIC, DECREASED BIRTH WEIGHTS. PLACENTA CONCENTRATES, found levels 6x higher in cord blood than maternal
THE CROPS WE GET DURING A DROUGHT MAY NOT BE HEALTHY. STRESSED CORN GETS A FUNGUS INFECTION THAT MAKES Aflatoxin potent natural carcinogen. Inserts self into DNA TURNS OFF tumor suppresser gene.
Toxic pea soup. Most common for there to be multiple algal toxins. Safety limits set on basis of sole effect, no research on combined effects.
Combination of nutrient load from ag runoff and warm water causing increased fresh water algae blooms.
Advisories for elevated microcystin, Iowa’s most common algae-produced toxin, nearly doubled this summer at state park beaches, from 14 in 2012 to 24 in 2013, algae season longer, microcystin exceeded the DNR’s safe swimming guidelines &gt; 20 for state parks 68 times since 2006.
lincreased dissolved organic carbon resulting in trihalomethanes, carcinogenic byproducts of chlorine disinfection.
prenatal exposure to THM increases neural tube congenital heart and musculoskeletal anomalies.choloramine instead of chlorine not as effective: In LA Naegleria in public water systems, In DC lead leached from pipes
CA Office of Env Health Hazard Assessment looked at 60,000 birth records and found that a 10°F (5.6°C) increase in weekly average apparent temperature (T and H) resulted in 8.6% increase in preterm delivery. Greater associations were observed for younger mothers, blacks, and Asians. independent of air pollutants.
BY 2050 COOLEST YEARS WILL BE HOTTER THAN OUR HOTTEST YEARS NOW. SEVERE HEAT WAVES NOW ONCE EVERY 30 YEARS WILL BE ANNUAL.
AGRESSION increased rates of assault, murder, domestic violence, suicides and psychiatric holds for danger to others. Risk of domestic violence highest in pregnancy.
UC Berkeley metaanalysis of 60 studies- for each SD of increased temp
or decreased rainfall 4% increase in individual/small group violence,
14% increase in major conflicts. 2 SD INCREASE BY 2050.= 8% increase individual, 28% increase major conflicts
Children are vulnerable to increased environmental health risks from climate change. Climate change&apos;s propensity to increase the formation of natural toxins and mobilize heavy metals and pollutants have a disproportionate effect on the young because their organs are still developing and because per pound of body weight, children inhale more air, eat more food, and drink more water than adults.
SUMMER ASTHMA CAMP STUDY SHOWS MDI USE DOSE RESPONSE AT OZONE LEVELS BELOW EPA LIMITS, increase in er visits
Causes asthma 3 sports=3x risk
OZONE – IUGR AND LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
Mold causes increased ER visits for asthma and causes asthma. Recent birth cohort study higher levels of mold in home dust samples at 8 months of age doubled the risk of developing asthma by age 7
Mold more allergenic when grown at higher CO2..
CO2 acts as fertilizer, increases pollen production and allergenicity, and extends flowering season, spread of allergenic plants. Graph shows pollen production under preindustrial, current and projected future CO2 levels. Pollen levels predicted to double by 2040.
SEASON EXTENDING MOST IN HIGHER LATITUDES.
NE HAY FEVER SEASON NOW 10D LONGER
Soil is a significant source of lead exposure. About 30% of kids with elevated blood levels don&apos;t live in houses with lead paint. The correlation of lead poisoning incidence with areas with old housing could be because by virtue of their age, those communities have seen a lot of traffic and have a higher legacy burden of lead in their soil. Children&apos;s blood lead levels follow the same seasonal pattern which can be predicted by a model incorporating soil moisture and air temperature. The longer we have hot dry weather, the more exposure to lead kids will get.
This slide shows how childrens visits to the emergency room for gastroenteritis (black line) match up with a model based on heavy rainfall (blue line). Majority of drinking water contamination cases in urban watersheds and nearly 70% of all gastroenteritis outbreaks occur after heavy rainstorms. Hospital admission of kids with diarrhea triples after heavy rain.

We are facing a public health emergency. Public health- affects whole populations
By 2030, 40% of adults will be obese, 44% will have cardiovascular disease, 20% will have DM. ASTHMA RISK DOUBLE FOR OBESE
BY 2050 OVER HALF obese, CVD, 33% DM
Almost 37% of GDP on healthcare
TIME LAG BETWEEN EMISSIONS AND WARMING. EACH GENERATION DECIDES FOR THE NEXT. Even if we stopped now, it would take 1000 years to cool back down.
300 hundred years for the ocean to absorb 60% CO2 because once the surface water gets saturated, have to wait for deep water to cycle up. Then the ocean is full. Removal of the next 10% takes 1000 years to react chemically with rock to become bicarbonate and get taken up into seashells, fall to the floor and get turned into limestone. The remaining 20% has to go back underground to coal and oil, which will take 10,000 years. Meanwhile, CO2 from natural sources is still being emitted and adding to what&apos;s there. If you add faster than you can remove, it keeps building up.
What happens to T? Global warming is like weight. Its easier to gain than lose. T would keep increasing for decades and then plateau. It wouldn&apos;t go down for 1000 years.
LUCKILY, ITS NOT THAT DIFFICULT. THE SOLUTIONS ARE COMMONSENSE, PAY FOR THEMSELVES IN FUEL AND HEALTHCARE SAVINGS, AND IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE.
JOHN SNOW BECAME THE FATHER OF EPIDEMIOLOGY BY STOPPING A CHOLERA EPIDEMIC IN LONDON BEFORE THE GERM THEORY OF DISEASE WAS EVEN ESTABLISHED. DID HE DO IT BY GOING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TELLING EVERYONE NOT TO DRINK WATER? HEWENT TO HIS LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND GOT THEM TO TAKE THE HANDLE OFF THE PUMP. “The pestilence was stayed.”
Take the handle off the pump is not something you do at your own house,
3 IN NE: Belleview, Lincoln, and Omaha.
Cities across the country have almost a decade of experience and many successful projects to decrease energy waste and lower emissions.
So we know what to do and we know how to do it, but we don&apos;t have the political will in Washington to scale them up and get them done.

SO WHAT&apos;S IN THE DOCTORS&apos; PRESCRIPTION?
ZERO ENERGY HOME SEATTLE, MAKES UP USE WITH SOLAR. 75% CONSERVATION AND 25% GENERATION.
Atlanta Olympics- traffic decreased 20%, ozone decreased almost 30%, and kids ER visits for asthma down over 40%.
The health cost of fossil fuel addiction is enormous. Globally 400,000 people a year die as a result of climate change (90% are children) but 4.5 million die from lung disease, CVD and cancer from carbon related air pollution. We spend more on the health consequences of fossil fuel than we do on fossil fuel itself.
Closing all coal burning power plants in the US would save 13,200 lives and prevent nearly 10,000 hospitalizations and more than 20,000 heart attacks each year with an annual health savings of more than $100 billion per year
For every ton of CO2 emissions we eliminate, even counting the cost to do it, we come out economically ahead.

Midwestern metrop areas- 50% short trips by bike save over $5 billion in health spending per year: $3.8 billion/year saved due to health benefits of exercise and $2.5 billion due to benefits of cleaner air.
Nutritionally in the US we get what we pay for. We fund price supports corn for feed and ethanol . Growers of produce. Just got on crop insurance this year. Farmers make more money from growing corn fencepost to fencepost than by putting land into conservation or diversifying their crops.
We know that lowering prices of produce increases consumption. Align subsidies with federal dietary recommendations
40% of food is wasted. Farm waste hazard.
Revising use by labelling, subsidize digesters,
Tax credits for farmers who donate crops
Heavy meat eaters eat an avg 700 cal more/d
Decrease cancers by 10%, heart disease by 20%, 25% less diabetes
I&apos;d like to call your attention to one small problem:
While a STRONG MAJORITY OF US CITIZENS WANT CLIMATE ACTION NOW, even if other countries don&apos;t act, and even if it costs us some money
But we have a powerful tool called democracy. And despite what you may hear, we have a lot of people who care. A recent poll showed that 1 out of 4 citizens are willing to participate in a campaign to get Congress to enact climate legislation. They&apos;re waiting for someone in their community to step forward and it has to be people like you and me. We can&apos;t do this by clicking on a computer screen. We have to be visible and show people what to do. Talk to your friends and neighbors and members of whatever groups you belong to. Make a phone call, write a letter, tell people you did it, invite them to do it with you. Most important go to candidate forums, raise your hand and ask what they&apos;re going to do about climate change. Most important be public, and create opportunities for others to join you. We are in the majority and can not be cowed by some shortsighted corporations who put this quarters profits above everyone&apos;s future.
We can ensure a healthy future, but we can&apos;t wait any longer for someone else to lead the way. Its time for women to stand up, speak out and kick some political butt. We can do it if we hurry, but there&apos;s no time to lose.
