Please help with the project Prescription for a Healthy Planet

Submitted by David Shearman on Sat, 18/02/2006 - 20:38. Reports on Health and the Environment

This is a request to DEA members and to all practicing doctors in Australia to enrole for the project "Prescription for a Healthy Planet". This will involve the placement of posters on the health aspects of climate change and biodiverity in waiting rooms.

Many members of DEA have expressed the wish to participate in DEA activities. We need your help with this project by displaying posters in your waiting room.

You can elect to receive only one of the two posters, or the posters without the brochures, whichever you wish. Please also spread the word amongst your colleagues. Once the posters are finalised we will send out an email that you can forward on to your own networks if able.

This is great way to easily support improved public awareness and action to improve our ecological sustainability and hence health. It’s an innovative project and we hope that its success will enable us to extend it significantly. The posters/brochures are both educational and suggest actions that individuals can take. The posters will be A2 size (4 times A4), though we may be able to supply a limited number of smaller posters if necessary, and are designed for the practice waiting room environment.

You can now view the nearly final posters and brochures on our website being developed for the project. Go to www.healthyplanet.info and then put in “dea” as the username and as the password. You will be able to see both the “Climate change and human health” and “Biodiversity and human health” posters. These will both be accompanied by a small package of brochures.

They are password protected as they are still confidential – not “signed-off”. Please do not distribute to non DEA members just yet.

We expect to release the posters with matching brochures and launch the website in late February or early March 2006.

You can join our mailing list for posters via the DEA website www.dea.org.au (go to “Poster Project”) or emailing posters@dea.org.au or by phoning Sarah Morton on (03) 5962 5313.

Please help us with this exciting project
