Climate change seems to be on everyone's mind - it is the theme for this year's American Public Health Association (APHA) observance of Public Health Week. The themes for today and tomorrow are Greening of Work and Home.

Be Green at Work:

• Telecommute
• Use recycled goods
• Go paperless
• Power down
  

Be Green at Home:

• Insulate our homes
• Reduce, reuse, recycle
• Use water wisely
• Bike, walk, use mass transit or carpool
  

Want to get involved? Tell Congress climate change is a public health issue YOU are concerned about and want them to act on NOW . Our health is in the balance.
