It's National Public Health Week!
Today's theme is Climate Change. Climate change is the most pressing threat to human health. If we don't make changes, in 5 years our carbon budget would be depleted and the likelihood of devastating global climate impacts would be very high. By buying less, supporting green spaces, and transitioning to renewable energy, we can lessen the health impacts of climate change.
