What can I do?

• Inform yourself about the basic science of climate change, the health benefits of taking action, and the urgency of doing so
• Advise your patients. Better diet and more walking and cycling will improve their health and reduce their carbon emissions
• Save energy and money through house insulation, turning off appliances and lights and reductions in use of goods and services
• Drive and fly less, walk or cycle more, teleconference/webcast.
• Eat local food, less meat, and less processed food - a low carbon diet is a healthy diet. Drink tap water
• Advocate locally (see below)
• Agitate for personal carbon entitlements and financial incentives to reduce carbon costs
• Advocate a climate change agenda at all meetings
• Ally yourself with other health professionals
