Health & Environment Connection

LocalMotionGreen's vision for "a country in which preventable causes of cancer and other illnesses stemming from environmental toxicity have been eradicated" led to the creation of our newsletter, Health & Environment Connection, in 2003. This periodical educates people on the importance of a healthy environment, a healthy lifestyle and ways to achieve them. Distribution is primarily through email or on the website; hard copies are available on request. View Archive
