Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure. – John McConnell
I am involved in promoting eco-friendly medicine and sustainability practices, and have written and lectured at different universities about the effects of pesticides and toxins. I take an ecosystem approach to environmental health, with which I led an academic collaboration directed at public health and infectious disease.
