Public Health Pondering - Women Only Spaces

Women only spaces, gender-neutral bathrooms, TERFS, and Transphobia. CORRECTION: The term we used in this episode "people who identify as women" is inappropriate and the term we should have used is trans-women or cis-women. Our apologies! This is a learning process for us as well, and we always welcome constructive conversations to help with our understanding -MJ Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com    Instagram and Threads: Everything is Public Health Mastodon: @everythingispublichealth  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth      Photo Credit: Photo by Daryan Shamkhali on Unsplashhttps://unsplash.com/photos/RruN5QCjE_s?utm_content=creditShareLink&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=unsplashSupport the show

Environment is Public Health - Most Wildfires Are Our Fault

Wildfires are getting much more devastating and dangerous. And it's our fault, both the direct cause and the climate crisis. What can we do to prevent them? Donate to Maui Fire Relief. The more direct the donations the better, avoid large scale charities. Yes, it's Smokey Bear, not Smokey the Bear.

Weather is Public Health - We Almost Lost NOAA Thrice

Stop trying to dismantle our public goods! NOAA, or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is one of those monolith of a government organization that is silently a part of our lives but we never notice. Everything that is even slightly related to weather or climate is probably related to NOAA. As we break all the heat records and witness climate catastrophes, remember we need to both change our own action AND work to hold those big corporations responsible. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Upcycle, reject consumerism, and remember that as long as everyone try their best, we are making a difference.
