EnviRN News – August 27, 2017 Water Healthcare Climate Chemicals

August 27, 2017 Son: Dad, we’re doing a paper on family history. When you think back over your life, what do you remember most? Dad: Colonoscopy prep. Son: Um, I’m not sure that’s what they are looking for. Dad: Believe me, it wasn’t what I was looking for either. Now […]

American drivers overwhelmingly support #cleanerca

American drivers overwhelmingly support #cleanercars standards that will save drivers money and reduce passenger vehicle pollution.

A vast majority- nearly 95%! of Americans surveyed said that fuel economy is an important factor when buying or leasing a new vehicle. Drivers know that efficient cars save them money and pollute less.

Nurses are urging NHTSA to strengthen the final rule to maximize the benefits that nurses know will work in tandem with EPAs clean cars standards that will protect public health and address climate change.

The Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (A

The Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE) is delighted to announce the publication of #EnvironmentalHealth in Nursing 3rd Edition – an update to our award-winning open access textbook for #nurses and other health professionals.

The third edition represents the latest in environmental health nursing research, education, advocacy, and practice. There were so many excellent chapters that had missed the deadline for inclusion in the second edition, we quickly updated the second edition so that all of you could read them as well. Updated and new chapters include the climate justice chapter, PFAS, and a chapter on climate change and children’s health.

1 year later, Georgia is already reaping the benefits of a transition to a clean economy being driven by federal climate and clean energy investments in the manufacturing of batteries and other clean technologies.

Tomorrow, August 16th, nurses, local officials, and climate advocates will celebrate those investments with the first anniversary of the bill that made them possible- the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). In addition to billions of dollars in funding for clean energy and clean transportation, the IRA also increased funding for air monitoring throughout Georgia and the rest of the nation. One key local benefit being highlighted is an IRA- funded grant of nearly $500,000 to Atlanta's Center for Sustainable Communities, allowing them to expand the network of air quality monitors in Atlanta. Join us on Facebook live tomorrow morning for remarks followed by a live installation of one of the funded air quality monitors.

ICYMI: ANHE's Cara Cook spoke at the Route Zero st

ICYMI: ANHE's Cara Cook spoke at the Route Zero stop in Washington, D.C. to advocate for the strongest possible clean car and truck standards!

A Route Zero recap: "Route Zero traveled across the country, with over 250 local volunteers and advocates participating along the way. Stops included Los Angeles, CA, Flagstaff, AZ, Sante Fe, NM, Kansas City, MO, Joliet, IL, Detroit, MI, Cleveland, OH, Pittsburgh, PA, and Baltimore, MD before ending at the EPA headquarters in DC to deliver the comments collected that called for strong light-duty vehicle standards. In each of those cities, groups sponsored billboard ads, visibility tactics like flyering, sidewalk art, ads on bar coasters and coffee sleeves in independent coffee shops, charging station ads, full page newspaper ads, social media ads, as well as bus ads and bus shelter ads.

The relay demonstrated and celebrated the path to a zero emission future in the United States, which is being spurred on by historic investments in charging infrastructure, battery manufacturing, and tax incentives for consumers to make the transition to zero emission vehicles, and emphasized that the only way to make it across the finish line is by finalizing the strongest possible clean car standards.

The Road Ahead for Route Zero

While the comments for the light duty vehicle rules have been delivered, the rulemaking has just begun. Next steps for this campaign include using the momentum of the Route Zero Relay to continue to push for the finalization of the strongest possible clean car standards through visibility tactics, social media campaigns, in-person events, petitions, sign on letters, influencer campaigns, and much more.

The Route Zero campaign has already started this next step with visibility tactics sponsored by Hip Hop Caucus at the Essence Festival in New Orleans, Moms Clean Air Force sponsored Route Zero Coloring sheets at restaurants around the DC metro area, Green Latinos sponsored metro ads in the DC metro area, a stand up Route Zero presser in Tennessee, charging ads in Atlanta, and PNS stories across the country."

Still inspired after a phenomenal #icncongress last week!! It was a momentous step forward to see the attention that planetary health is receiving on global stage! Thank you to our partners @cane_aciie for helping us elevate this important topic for nurses.

We are so inspired by the many planetary health sessions showcased at the #icncongress! One being Alysha Jones’, member of the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment, presentation on protecting children’s health in the Anthropocene. Children are disproportionately impacted by climate change and nursing engagement as advocates and in clinical practice is critical! Check out @cane_aciie to learn what you can do as a nurse.

Nurses are uniquely positioned to transform health

Nurses are uniquely positioned to transform health systems and promote resilience and adaptation. Fiona Hanely, Lecturer at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec and member of the Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment, shares how nurses across Canada are leading in planetary health.

As the world’s most trusted profession, with expertise in healthy relationships and systems healing, global nurses can significantly advance restoration of planetary health for all people now and for future generations. ICN hosted multiple discussions on planetary health including a dedicated symposium on Nursing for Planetary Health at the #ICNCongress.

In Washington Post’s Climate Solutions, @sarahed

In Washington Post’s Climate Solutions, @sarahedigregorio writes, “As the climate becomes warmer and more humid, people who work outdoors are some of the first to contend with life-threatening heat exposure.”

Nurses are trusted professionals, in every community, and an excellent resource for responding to this challenge. ANHE Nurse, Roxana Chicas, is doing just that.

“For Chicas, whose research is a collaboration with community organizers at the Farmworker Association of Florida, this work is personal. She was born in El Salvador, where her mother grew corn, beans and coffee. When the Salvadoran civil war broke out in 1979, children were often kidnapped and never seen again. In 1986, when Chicas was 4 years old, she and her mother fled that terror to the United States. They settled in Georgia, where Chicas’s mother worked as a housekeeper and often told her daughter that she was grateful to have an indoor job that protected her from the weather.”

It's almost time for the ICN Congress taking place

It's almost time for the ICN Congress taking place from July 1-5! Here's an overview of ANHE's presentation:

Mentorship as a Supportive Model for Nurse-Community Health Initiatives
July 3, 4PM EST

ANHE’s second Fellowship, which started in June 2022, includes an equally diverse group of nurses, who hail from all corners of the U.S. and have varied backgrounds, nursing specialties, and are at different points in their nursing careers. This second cohort builds upon the challenges and successes of the first cohort with a greater emphasis on speakers from disproportionately impacted communities, support for building relationships with the community prior to the start of the Fellowship, and an inclusion of stipends for Fellows. The ANHE Environmental Health Nurse Fellowship now serves as a model of how nurses can successfully partner with community-based organizations to improve the health of communities most impacted by environmental issues.

Hope to connect with you there! #PlanetaryHealthICN #Nurses4PlanetaryHealth
