On Monday, December 10, at 4:00 p.m. in Friends 201, the Sustainability Café topic will be "Living Downstream: Environmental Contamination and Human Health," presented by Sandra Steingraber, Scholar-in-Residence in the Division of Interdisciplinary and International Studies at Ithaca College.
Ecologist, author, and cancer survivor, Sandra Steingraber, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized expert on the environmental links to cancer and reproductive health. Steingraber’s highly acclaimed book, Living Downstream: An Ecologist Looks at Cancer and the Environment presents cancer as a human rights issue and was the first to bring together data on toxic releases with newly released data from U.S. cancer registries. In 1999, the Sierra Club heralded Steingraber as "the new Rachel Carson."
This Café is sponsored by the Environmental Seminar.
"Teachable edibles" -- seasonal, organic, and/or local foods -- for the fall 2007 Sustainability Café series are being supported by Ithaca College Dining Services. Please bring your reusable mug and fill up at the drinking fountain or provide your beverage of choice.
Drink in a new way to think in the Sustainability Café.
