Health For All: Connecting Health and Environmental Education
Health is the chain that links us all together. As the effects of climate change become more apparent in our everyday lives all across the globe, the importance of environmental health is placed into stark relief: The health of our environment has a direct impact on the health of people and our communities.
Environmental health requires environmental justice for all —equitable access to clean water and air, healthy soil and food, and stable climate and temperatures. Environmental education is the tool we use to educate our youth about each of these natural resources and human interaction with them.
The Resilient Activist will present a 2-hour workshop: Four Steps to a Resilient Life
The Midwest Climate Summit is coming soon! This year it is located in St. Louis, Missouri with a virtual option. The Resilient Activist’s Founder, Sami Aaron, will be presenting Becoming a Resilient Activist: The Four Steps for Resilient Life Workshop during this Summit!
From their website:
“The Midwest Climate Summit is outcome-driven. It expands climate knowledge, accelerates climate action, and catalyzes new partnerships that deepen expertise and develop a Midwestern response to the climate crisis. Our vision of a carbon neutral, climate resilient, interconnected Midwest region cannot be achieved without centering equity and justice in our planning and implementation. The 2023 summit is scheduled to be an in-person event in St. Louis with a virtual option.
At the summit you can:
- Connect with other climate leaders
- Share knowledge across sectors and collaborate to create new knowledge
- Accelerate cross-sector collaboration to address climate change
- Seed new partnerships and collaborations to advance climate action
MCC members receive 2 free tickets and a discount on all additional tickets. Please contact your MCC representative at your organization for details. If you don’t know who that person is, please email us.”
We hope to see you there to find hope in varying forms of environmental activism!
