Hi all.
I just like using acronyms. Anyway, I wanted to weigh in on a conversation of a couple of weeks ago where Mark was questioning a text about “environmental causes” being a driver of illness. I certainly could not add any perspective that would have been clearer than James Teufel’s response nor could I argue with those who posted, as the last word, the link to the Unnatural Causes PBS Series: http://www.unnaturalcauses.org.
What I wanted to add is that Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees released a new report that is but one more leg in the stool of evidence supporting the assertion that environment rather then behavior is the international driver of health and health disparities. The report is at: http://www.unhcr.org/news/NEWS/4856264b2.html
Here is the stunning quote:
"We are now faced with a complex mix of global challenges that could threaten even more forced displacement in the future. They range from multiple new conflict-related emergencies in world hotspots to bad governance, climate-induced environmental degradation that increases competition for scarce resources, and extreme price hikes that have hit the poor the hardest and are generating instability in many places."
To get involved check out resources for World Refugee Day at: http://www.unhcr.org/

“The teenagers and college students who left their homes to march in the streets of Birmingham and Montgomery; the mothers who walked instead of taking the bus after a long day of doing somebody else's laundry and cleaning somebody else's kitchen — they didn't brave fire hoses and Billy clubs so that their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren would still wonder at the beginning of the 21st century whether their vote would be counted; whether their civil rights would be protected by their government; whether justice would be equal and opportunity would be theirs. . . . We have more work to do.” — Obama 08
