Join Brad, Jo, and Benny this Thursday for a "What Going on?" discussion group entitled “The Birth of the Eco-Clinic?”
If you are in the HEALTH, ECO-BROOME, BIG IDEAS or PHILOSOPHY streams, this is an event for you. Although, any other Broomies are welcome to attend too.
During all the recent talk of healthcare reform and the likes of Bill Gates and Bono campaigning to get state of the art medical care to all corners of the globe, few people have questioned what this global ratcheting up of medical systems might mean for the environment. Every medical procedure involves consumption of materials, an increase in pollution, and waste, is it time health care reformers, philanthropists, and activists talked to eco-activists and environmentalists?
At Thursday’s event, we will read a short article which considers the possibility of a “green clinic” and more environmentally aware health systems. The event will last for an hour and requires no preparation. Lombardi’s pizza will be served!!
This Thursday (11th) – Apartment 412 – 8.30-9.30pm
