A Community Guide to Environmental Health – now available on CD and as a free PDF download

From Hesperian Health Guides - "While wacky weather and the threat of climate change are increasingly popular topics of conversation, the effects of environmental changes on low-income communities are often left out of the discussion.  Globally, poor communities are the hardest hit by problems such as extreme weather, natural disasters, and increasing temperatures. Rather than just highlighting the problems, Hesperian supports efforts to promote sustainable resource use around the world. Our newly updated version of A Community Guide to Environmental Health – now available on CD and as a free PDF download – includes practical methods proven to be useful in a variety of settings:

• Accurate instructions for water purification
• Recipes for homemade household cleaners
• Clean energy generation technologies
• Updated links to useful resources and organizations
• Detailed information on how to use international and regional legal systems to fight for human and environmental rights....." -  https://app.e2ma.net/app/view:CampaignPublic/id:35444.11051382462/rid:eb23b2819716cf6295ca2e4f9ed72d4c
