MESSAGE FROM BRENT ELSEY, MEDICAL DOCTOR, MEMBER OF BARRIE DOCTORS ON CLIMATE SOLUTIONS (DOCS)
MESSAGE FROM BRENT ELSEY, MEDICAL DOCTOR, MEMBER OF BARRIE DOCTORS ON CLIMATE SOLUTIONS (DOCS) In comparing Covid to our present climate crisis, Dr. Elsey made the following observation. The climate crisis impacts will be more significant, longer in duration, and will have no easy fixes-like a vaccine. Our communities will experience extreme weather events with infrastructure destruction that will impair health care delivery, worsening food security, increased poverty, special upheaval driven by climate chaos refugees, epidemics from old pathogens like cholera and malaria. Canadian values and cooperation (I will add within Canada and with our biggest trading partner the US) are very much needed and they have been evident during the Coved crisis Innovative thinking is encouraged and supported. WHAT YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO REDUCE GLOBAL OVERHEATING Ø COMPOST - 20% of all methane gas in the world comes from compostable materials dumped into landfill sites
