The microbiologist and humanist René Dubos said that “each civilization creates its own diseases,” but it’s also true that every civilization can create the conditions for its own health. Today we are confronting a slew of public health threats including: the climate crisis, chemical and plastic manufacturing, food and economic insecurity, oil and gas extraction, and water shortages arising from fracking and data centers. This panel featuring three of the most renowned public health visionaries of our era will explore how we can empower communities with scientific knowledge, legal tools and organizing strategies, (including the precautionary principle) to stop the further toxification of our environment and restore our ecosystems to foster conditions conducive to health. With: Ted Schettler, MD, MPH, a physician and SEHN’s Science Director; and Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D., a biologist and SEHN’s Senior Scientist and bestselling author.
