Wednesday, February 1 SEMINAR
7:00 -8:30 pm
A SILVER LINING:
HEALTH CO- BENEFITS OF CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES
The policies that need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will also bring about substantial reductions in air pollution and cardiovascular disease, as well as propelling changes in urban mobility and our built environment. Looking at health co-benefits creates a different paradigm – one that is ‘win-win’ for most people, and for the planet. The panel will discuss the health co-benefits of climate change policies.
PANELISTS WILL INCLUDE:
Jeremy Hess, MD, MPH, Univ. of WA Associate Professor of Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences
Kathy Strange, P.E., M.S. Manager, Technical Analysis with Puget Sound Clean Air Agency
Andrew Dannenberg, Affiliate Professor, Univ. of WA Dept. of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences & Dept. of Urban Design and Planning, College of Built Environments
Location: Seattle Town Hall
Tickets: $5.00

UPCOMING LUNCH & LEARN
Tuesday, February 15
Noon - 1:00 pm
King County has historically been a productive agricultural region with dairies, livestock operations, crop farms and berry fields. Rich agricultural areas once supported hundreds of families and provided an abundant local food source for thousands. Increased land prices, regulations, urban pressures, and drainage problems have all significantly contributed to the reduction of farmland in King County; however, farming is still a vital presence.
