Dear CHE Partners:
This month CHE is featuring two Partner calls focused on systems approaches to improving health and well-being (see: http://www.healthandenvironment.org). The first CHE Partner call is "Ecological Intelligence: A Conversation with Daniel Goleman" to be held on June 12th. Dan has written a number of bestselling books on different expressions of intelligence, and his most recent book, "Ecological Intelligence," highlights the need for what he calls 'radical transparency' in the marketplace so that we can make informed and smarter consumer choices-choices that truly support our long-term health and that of the planet. The second CHE Partner call is "A Common Agenda for Health and the Environment: Goals for the Next Generation and Steps to Get There" to be held on June 23rd.
"A Common Agenda" differs distinctly from "Ecological Intelligence" on a number of counts. For example, "Ecological Intelligence" focuses primarily on the consumer and why what we buy and manufacture often has far-flung negative consequences on human and ecological health; while "A Common Agenda", articulates specific generational goals--from "Vibrant Communities" to "Green Jobs" to "Ecosystem Protection"--that were developed by over 100 leaders in diverse sectors along with concrete steps to reach these goals.
Both documents, however, point fundamentally to the same issue: We must collaborate across sectors and among diverse constituencies in order to effectively address the multiple factors that influence our health and future; if we stay in our respective silos, as is still the predominate modus operandi in academia, government, industry and even the nonprofit world, we do so to our collective peril. Cultivating our capacity to take appropriate, life-affirming actions in the face of complexity is essential in today's world. This means respecting and relying on each other's areas of expertise and abilities as well as working to clarify and understand inevitable differences in the assumptions, expectations and priorities we each hold.
This kind of collaboration in the context of complexity is at the heart of CHE's work. In the coming months, we intend to deepen our exploration of systems biology, ecological health and preventative interventions as these apply in very concrete ways to enhancing human health for generations to come. Along these lines, CHE is establishing a discussion group on environmental factors linked to "Metabolic Syndrome," a cluster of conditions that elevate a person's risk of developing certain chronic diseases such heart disease, stroke and diabetes (please see Announcements and New Highlights below).
We will certainly need both "ecological intelligence" and "a common agenda" in order to achieve our collective goal of a healthy world to leave our children and theirs. We hope you will join us on these upcoming CHE Partner calls and in other future activities. -- Elise Miller, MEd Director Collaborative on Health and the Environment

CHE Partnership Calls
Ecological Intelligence: A Conversation with Daniel Goleman
Friday, June 12 at 1 PM Pacific / 4 PM Eastern
********** CHE is pleased to host this special conversation with Daniel Goleman, psychologist and bestselling author, on Friday, June 12 at 1 PM Pacific / 4 PM Eastern to discuss issues he raises in his most recent book, Ecological Intelligence: How Knowing the Hidden Impacts of What We Buy Can Change Everything. The book is described as drawing on "cutting-edge research to reveal
why 'green is a mirage,' illuminates inconsistencies in our response to
the ecological crisis, and introduces new technologies that reveal with
'radical transparency' the eco-impact of products we buy, with the
potential to drive consumers to make smarter decisions and companies to
reform their business practices." Goleman's description of what it means to be ecologically intelligent
underscores why CHE is committed to articulating a working framework
for ecological health in which the multiple factors that influence our
health and well-being are addressed systemically.RSVP for This CallMichael Lerner, PhD, President of Commonweal and Vice-Chair of CHE,
will facilitate the conversation with Goleman and offer plenty of time
for Q&A with CHE partners. It will last one hour and will be recorded for archival purposes.
********** A Common Agenda for Health and the Environment: Goals for the Next Generation and Steps to Get ThereTuesday, June 23 at 10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern
CHE invites you to join in an important call with leaders
from different sectors who worked on the impressive document "A Common Agenda for Health and the Environment" on Tuesday June 23, 2009 at 10 AM Pacific / 1 PM Eastern. The
Common Agenda is a call to action and articulates a collective
commitment to six ambitious cross-cutting "Generational Goals" to
ensure a healthy future for our children. Creating the Common Agenda
involved nearly 100 leaders of the healthcare, community development,
environmental, labor and agriculture community working together to
imagine the world we want to leave our children and what it will take
to get there within one generation. Speakers will provide an
overview the Common Agenda, highlight specific features of some of the
"Generational Goals", and describe action steps we can take to achieve
these goals. RSVP for this CallFeatured speakers: - Polly Hoppin, ScD, Environmental Health Initiative Program Director at the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production

~ New CHEM Trust Report: Male Reproductive Health Disorders and the Potential Role of Exposure to Environmental Chemicals A CHEM Trust report released in the last month highlights the dangers of exposing pregnant women to hormone disrupting chemicals in consumer products, and focuses on the risks these pose to baby boys and the reproductive health of men. The report, titled: "Male Reproductive Health Disorders and the Potential Role of Exposure to Environmental Chemicals" http://www.chemtrust.org.uk/Press_and_Media.php , was written by Professor Richard Sharpe of the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Edinburgh.
CHEM Trust's Mission Statement is to prevent man-made chemicals from causing long term damage to wildlife or humans by ensuring that chemicals which cause such harm are substituted are substituted with safer alternatives. The organization is based out of the UK. Click here to link to CHEM Trust's website. CHE EMF~ coordinated by Nancy Evans, nancywrite@comcast.net and Cindy Sage, sage@silcom.com ~ Microwave News reports that a new Swiss study found a 10-fold increase in radiofrequency radiation (RF) levels since the U.S. EPA measured these levels in the mid-1970s (a practice long abandoned in the U.S.). Scientists reported that mobile phones and towers do increase RF exposure but so do cordless phones. Using mobile phones in confined spaces such as buses and trains also exposes non-users-secondhand radiation. See the incisive June 3 commentary on this study at www.microwavenews.com
~ Although the CHE EMF working group focuses on new science related to EMF, many members are also involved in advocacy, education and outreach on EMF issues. There is also growing interest among the larger public, particularly parents, as evidenced in the following news from Los Angeles:
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on June 2, 2009, to actively seek and support federal legislation to repeal portions of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 that limit the authority of state and local governments to regulate cell towers and related wireless facilities on the basis of their health and environmental effects.
Los Angeles is the first major local government to directly take on the federal preemption of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. As part of its efforts on this issue, the Board of Supervisors will also be filing comments consistent with its motions with the FCC with regard to National Broadband Policy.
This action follows the unanimous passage on May 26, 2009 of a resolution by the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education concerning the ongoing proliferation of wireless antennas near schools. This resolution includes a statement in favor of repealing the Telecommunication Act of 1996's preemption of consideration of health and environmental effects of wireless facilities.
Both resolutions are available on the website of the Coalition for Local Oversight of Utility Technologies (CLOUT): http://cloutnow.org/lacbos/
CHE HEAL ~ coordinated by Lisette Van Vilet, lisette@env-health.org~ European Chemicals Law REACH: the need to consider cumulative effects Lisette van Vliet, Toxics Policy Advisor for the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) spoke at the second European Chemicals Law (REACH) stakeholder meeting held by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki in late May 2009. The meeting was attended by companies, industry pressure groups, trade unions, public interest groups and representatives from 33 countries, including many from outside the EU.
Lisette van Vliet spoke about the participation of public interest organisations in the Agency's public consultations. She repeated the call of HEAL, ChemTrust and WWF, submitted to the most recent public consultation, for cumulative risk assessment under REACH to account for risks posed by multiple chemicals known to have common adverse effects and which can be more harmful when present simultaneously. Some chemicals, to which people are simultaneously exposed, are potentially more harmful to human health than has been traditionally recognised by methods which assess the risks of and establish 'safe levels' for individual chemicals separately. She also stated that the Agency's first list of 15 'Candidate' substances of very high concern (a list of most harmful chemicals under REACH) was too short and being developed too slowly. She highlighted the more robust lists drawn up by civil society according to the REACH criteria, which together cover 408 chemicals (the S.I.N.* list 1.0 of 267 high concern chemicals and the European Trade Unions Confederation Priority List of 306 chemicals).See additional materials and a video recording of the meeting
~ New fact sheet "Climate Change and Your Lungs" The Health & Environment Alliance and the European Lung Foundation have just published a fact sheet entitled "Climate Change and Your Lungs". It explains how climatic changes can affect lung health, points readers towards information sources and suggests measures that members of the public or respiratory patients can take to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on their respiratory health. It also showcases EU policy action. Experts from the European Respiratory Society's Environment and Health working group drafted the facts sheets, and HEAL provided the policy relevant context. Download the English version. It will soon be available in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish and Danish. A children's version for 5-11 year-olds is being developed.
~ Effort launched in Europe to put health at the centre of the Copenhagen negotiations In the run-up to the UNFCCC negotiations in Copenhagen in December 2009, the Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) and Health Care Without Harm (HCWH) Europe are working with the health community in the European Union to make public health central to the debate. As part of this effort, they have worked with the World Health Organization to produce and launch a discussion document entitled "Healthy Hospitals, Healthy Planet, Healthy People: Addressing climate change in health care settings". The joint document provides case studies of what hospitals can do to reduce their carbon footprint, including special mention of the efforts of the UK National Health Service. For more information and to download the report, please visit: http://env-health.org/a/3351
~ Europarl TV interviews HEAL on pesticides HEAL's Toxics Policy Advisor Lisette van Vliet was interviewed by the television channel of the European Parliament 'Europarl TV' on the new pesticides policy legislation. The interview also featured a representative of an association of plant protection manufacturers, Peter Jaeken, vice president of PhytoFar. Dr. van Vliet highlighted the need for strong national action plans to translation the European pesticides policies into better protection of public health. Watch the video ~ UK health council on climate change The Climate and Health Council is a not-for-profit organisation which aims to mobilise health professionals across the world to tackle climate change. It has developed global campaign to maximise support from doctors and other health professionals for urgent government-led international action on climate change. A "Pledge" has been developed committing signatories to support for a meaningful deal being struck at Copenhagen talks in December 2009. This Pledge has already been signed by more than 3,000 health professionals in 106 countries. The aim is for a sign-up from hundreds of thousands of health professionals and others by November 2009. It can be viewed at www.climateandhealth.org/pledge. Most recently, the Climate and Health Council has made it possible for staff in the National Health Service (NHS) in England to view this year's most talked about environmental film Age of Stupid for free at work. Dr. Mike Gill, co-chair of the Climate and Health Council and coordinator of this initiative says the hopes that it will bring attention to the NHS's own carbon footprint and prompt recognition of how important it is that health professionals set an example. The screenings have been made possible by a group of organisations coming together to fund the licence fee for showing the film. These include The British Medical Journal, The Lancet, The Royal College of Physicians, The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, The NHS Sustainable Development Unit, and The Campaign for Greener Healthcare.

~ International Actions to Protect the Health of Artic Indigenous Peoples: Report on Policy and Science frm the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants June 29 at 9 AM Alaska time In May, more than 800 participants representing 149 governments and many non-governmental organizations, met in Geneva, Switzerland at the fourth Conference of the Parties (COP4) to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Delegates made the historic decision to add nine new chemicals under provisions of the global legally binding treaty, with some limitations that concern public health advocates. Scientists from the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP) presented new results about the effects of POPs chemicals on human health and ecosystems of the Arctic as part of the effectiveness evaluation of the treaty. Representatives from Indigenous communities of the Arctic participated in order to urge Parties to the Convention to integrate a comprehensive human rights framework through the United Nations and the implementation of the Stockholm Convention.
Presenters will include scientists and representatives of the Arctic Indigenous Delegation who will report on their participation and perspectives about the Stockholm Convention Conference of Parties in May. We will discuss recent findings about the environmental and human health implications of persistent pollutants in the north.
CHE Washington
~ Now coordinated by Steve Gilbert, sgilbert@innd.org or contact info@healthandenvironment.org
~ On June 2, 2009, CHE-WA hosted a science lecture with special guest Elaine Faustman, PhD, of the University of Washington. Dr. Faustman shared with participants her recent research evaluating the pesticide residues in children of farmworkers in rural Washington. Disturbingly, over the years of the study, pesticide levels in children increased. Dr. Faustman shared information on some relative benefits demonstrated following educational interventions to change behaviors to reduce children's exposure to pesticide-laden dust on the farmworkers' clothes and vehicles. We will stay in touch with Dr. Faustman on this important research and appreciate any further understanding of its implications on children's health and development. Of note, Dr. Faustman dedicated her presentation to the important work of Dr. Dust (AKA John Roberts) who passed away earlier in 2009. It was John who first flagged the important role that dust was playing in unhealthy toxic exposures. Also at the June 2nd meeting CHE-WA heard from Laurie Valeriano of Washington Toxics Coalition, offering a perspective on environmental health issues in the 2009 statelegislative session.

~ CHE-WA extends particular gratitude to Antioch University in Seattle for continuing to provide its conference room for CHE-WA's science presentations. Antioch has generously donated this service to CHE-WA's mission of environmental health education for many years. This contribution has increased all the more in value as Antioch now has the technology to provide high quality conference calling so that CHE-WA members outside the Puget Sound area - and locals also wanting to reduce their carbon footprint - may attend these meetings by phone. A big thanks to Kate Davies, Director - Center for Creative Change, at Antioch University and long time CHE-WA supporter.
~ CHE-WA is now being hosted by the nonprofit Institute for Neurotoxicology and Neurological Disorders (INND), which is directed by Steve Gilbert, PhD. Steve can be reached at sgilbert@innd.org. CHE-WA is planning to offer its next science lecture in September 2009. At that time we will plan our late fall events. For more information and your ideas please contact Steve.
