Climate Change and Our Health

Preventing Climate Change

Few people realize that our personal health is inseparably connected to the health of our planet and all other species.

Have you heard of Dr. David Suzuki? He's a fascinating man with a lot to say on this issue. Read one of his books, or buy one for someone you care about for the holiday season.

Climate change is considered by many scientists to be the most serious threat facing the world today. The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty that requires countries around the world to cut greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change - opening the door to a cleaner future of innovative energy technologies. Solutions include phasing out coal plants, expanding renewable energy sources and public transit, and creating new efficiency standards for vehicles and buildings. Find out what you can do to help make a difference!
