Course Nurses Drawdown - Energy

The fourth installment of our Nurses Drawdown series focuses on the intersection of health and energy policy. Global climate change has severely worsened many public health problems, and the root cause can often be traced to unsustainable energy practices. Our first panelist, Wanda Martin, details the extent of the problem in Saskatchewan, Canada. Her location poses a few unique challenges because the climate is unusually cold. Our second panelist, Maribel Castillon, discusses climate activism. She identifies several organizations that are allied with ANHE. Focus/emphasis on neighborhood drilling. Our third panelist, Jessica Fisher, focuses on the health impacts of oil, and "Line 3"--a proposed Minnesota pipeline--in particular. At the end of the seminar, our panelists answer questions from the audience.
