Transition Town Jericho presentation: Why a changing climate matters to our health

On Monday Jan 27, from 6-7:30pm at the Jericho Community Center, Rosemary Rochford will present this talk. There will be a brief background on climate science and how C02 level rise leads to global warming.  A warming planet will have impacts on our health, both direct and indirect. A broad overview of these health effects will be given, followed by a discussion focused on food, food waste, and nutrition. Finally, thoughts on what are opportunities for adaptation and the hope in the future we can choose through our collective efforts.
