Welcome to EarthRose Institute
The mission of the EarthRose Institute is to inform diverse communities about environmental health impacts and their power to influence them, provide connections to a network of individuals and organizations with similar missions, and support local initiatives in their environmental advocacy efforts.
Change happens with:
Awareness
Environmental health exposures impact all areas of our lives. From the food we eat and the products we buy, to the air we breath and the neighborhood we live in. Gaining awareness of the influence our choices and surroundings have on our health is an important step. It can help limit our exposure to toxins in our environment, and guide us to supporting policies and practices that reinforce the health of our goods, services, communities and our environment.
Action
Every choice we make is a vote. Every dollar we spend is contributing to the environmental health situation for better or worse. Every action we take is improving or harming our health and the health of the planet. Taking action to improve exposure to toxins in our environment can have a dramatic impact on all of our lives. Minimizing our contribution to damaging the environment will have a profound impact on all of us. Knowing where to start can feel overwhelming. But all it takes is that first step to start making actionable change.
Advocacy
Doing all we can to act in responsible ways is hard work, and it can be consuming. And there may be times or events in our lives that inspire us, or call us more strongly, to become advocates for a particular cause. Municipal development policies, toxins in our agriculture, inequality in our infrastructures, inaccuracies or failures in our educational systems, legal loopholes, the list goes on. Learning how to organize and use our collective voice is a powerful way to send much needed messages, and to improve environmental health for all.
