Description
Gary Leabman, a Climate Reality representative, will look at how the rapidly changing climate is affecting health and healthcare. Allergists are busier than ever, and asthma is affecting more people. Cases of COPD are on the rise. Deaths and cancer are prevalent in communities near coal-fired plants. And these are just air-quality issues. Water and land degradation issues are plentiful. Many cases of depression and PTSD are mental health effects of the climate crisis. This presentation encourages personal lifestyle changes that can lower your carbon footprint and provide knowledge to make important decisions for yourself and on behalf of future generations. https://meetings.ringcentral.com/j/5567164003
