raising crops to rising temperatures, how we use natural resources affects
our health and well-being. This highly illustrated guide will help health
promoters, development workers, educators, activists, and community
leaders take charge of their communities' environmental health.

A Community Guide to Environmental Health covers preventing and reducing
harm from toxic pollution, protecting community water and watersheds,
reducing harm from mining, oil, and energy production, farming
sustainability and building food security, disposing of solid waste and
health care waste, and restoring land, caring for forests, and planting
trees. In small villages and large cities, A Community Guide to
Environmental Health can provide tools, knowledge, and inspiration to
begin transforming the global crisis in environmental health.

"This timely guide is the Where There Is No Doctor of community water,
sanitation and environmental health. It makes water, health and hygiene
accessible to those who need it most. Focusing on the important
intersection of public health and risk reduction at the community level
FOR the community, this guide is literally a lifesaver."

- Miriam Aschkenasy, MD, Public Health Specialist, Oxfam America
