So it says that they're concerned petitions raised like raise awareness you chose on a diet e biotin protests on definitely joining groups of your invest, use or any local organizations if you live like a wafer university or like in your local area. Just getting in contact with other people, though. And I was just wondering if anyone had any juice of some post of things. Your university or organization does more environments and frankly, you know, just a tall in recent years with intermittent other places, um, or are you familiar with ways you can get involved with taking claim action for claim it justice at your worst insults organization? I'm a big one. Obviously, Universities is students for global health and then a little bit to get a first use it and Medicaid and the university's have, um so the other Or are you All the medical students are okay, Yeah, and another way to get involved is a lot to help support cards anyone hard. A lot of pork are before. Yeah, with anyone you think your car flat out and try to correct this part out by actually important it various other night generation of doctors, the pot, half court cars and it's assessment to completed by medical students. So I get if I the medical school strikes and weaknesses. More cars. Patrick. How often claim a crisis? At first you came twice society, and there's still a huge amount of improvement acquired. They're also medical school. There are no involved. So if you know your medical schools not involved, please try and get them involved. And as you can see, you know, we've got a few screening, but a lot of, um, orange, which I think the see, and then our car in city. Okay. Uh, okay. So each participating institution student that a faculty member teens fell out, report cards, identify opportunity for improvement, and reach out to the relevant stop and faculty along the way. Results are published in the annual birthday report, which helps trying institutional change. So it's like what the planetary helpful is. Uh huh, the initiative was developed by medical students in the United States. They evaluate medical schools at activations of the A planetary health report called Financing a Policy. Training programs have recently been piloted. Have you heard about that? And so in our and working group, we cook some diabetic. So if you don't want that vaccine is the active sailing off subsidiaries and best success. It's a basic ultracet of investment, and as a team of yeah, it's working nice. I recently attended the People's A GM. Where this stuff start, financial companies are getting ready for their annual A GMC where CEO is in. Shareholders share their companies performance south right there on the stuff, the future stuff these. But we know the future shots. You should be the funding client chaos and stopping the investment Also feels on the 24th of May is the South Shells am in London. I was strongly consider finding if you're in London, more information will be available in arts, from which is due for a little have underscore CT the activist talk and have this short video on Jack Door and I will play it just tightening wise and buts. I really consider looking into, if you've ever heard of, um, we'll stop Campbells. That's more recent project that's been going on. So those of Muskie's have students were going to help is a society. So if you have one enjoy, don't let you know that stuff. Uh, that's how I ended up joining this working group was going to event about vaccine inequity so really useful, like host everything. Uh, many verses have this society, you know, when you can make it your on. It's a really great way to get moving climate, justice, and then that's like a picture of the website you can go to does anyone part of erection will help us. Oh, it's a really good like to involve, especially the Natural Working group, because I personally feel that we've got a little of contacts now. We didn't have before we tried it. So if you're interested in and like, climate and things really get to dyeing it, that other stuff is all like a race working group himself. So it's not just your name any. So what? Comfort green. You deal as healthcare students and global health. We're big sport cars off the green tea deal acts and a part of a movement that consent the balance of power in our favor, change politics. Unfortunately, the government tax this requires would come together and get politicians a champion of jobs. Transition. Mobilizing the House community has to be a paper chart of this as we're trusting society and need to be advocates for a patient in the car in state of a cost of living crisis, we have to get a little the sake of people's have so. But what is the great deal? It's a bold and ambitious government program of investment, job creation, um, restoration about violence. And it's centered about these five goals, uh, the girls to end the total liars, uh, the UK has on fossil fuels, while iradicate in social and economic air quality. It must be a just transition to clean energy, which doesn't affect the workers in the process. They must be supported and retrain, so they are behind the green. You deal will create millions of new, well paid, unionized jobs across the country. I am the third principle is a transforming our economy. The financial system should serve the needs of the people in planet. If it's can't be a priority anymore. A to cost of lines at a critical destruction. Well vital habitat such as far as a lot of areas must be protected or store. These are natural carbon. Since they take carbon out the environment, the environment must be safer. Finally, with must promote growth well, justice. This includes a contact with historic admissions on exploitation of resource is and communities, especially those in the global South. There are different ways to get both either through health for agreeing to deal campaign or there are local hubs is well the green you deal rising is specific.

To explain her agreement, deokman place greatly benefit public health. Likewise, a major public bodies that sent to the heart of our communities health institutions Comodo that kind of changes into the call society to ensure the are transition. So in that in that zero carbon society supports that happened well, being a ball currently mega that's what you like the adult version of soup people the house are planning a parliamentary of bed and western. I start to bring more and he's on board for agreeing you deal. Other projects includes was complaining that clinics to engage with public about relates between House on the Climate's.

Obviously, I am remember being myself, so I really you know, I think it's something that's so close to home me and I really don't want to see if we felt so bad for environment. Just in general, they're little like agents and, like, uh, he's like organizations don't really care about, like, the cloak a catastrophe. And I'm gonna keep pushing to take a much of a can from the forest long as they can. So, like whenever you find out about like, different ways to get rolled in stopping directions. It's really useful. Excellent casts. Yeah, well said that It's the so ms you consciousness. You know, I think you saw that side was trying to read about Kills. I'm not entirely sure I will close.
