Will be receiving an award at the White House this Tuesday!!! THE WHITE HOUSE Office of Communications FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 5, 2013 White House Highlights Public Health and Climate “Champions of Change” WASHINGTON, DC – On Tuesday, July 9th, the White House will honor eleven people as “Champions of Change” who are working on the front lines to protect public health in a changing climate. The President’s Climate Action Plan recognizes the need for responsible steps to cut carbon pollution, so we can protect our kids’ health and begin to slow the effects of climate change. These Champions are raising awareness about these health consequences and helping their communities prepare for climate-related health impacts. From doctors and educators helping communities cope with poor air quality worsened by carbon pollution, to a patient who has suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease advocating for clean air protections, each of these Champions are leading the way on climate and health. The Champions of Change program was created as an opportunity for the White house to feature groups of Americans – individuals, businesses and organizations – who are doing extraordinary things to empower and inspire members of their communities. To watch this event live, visit whitehouse.gov/live at 10:45 am ET on July 9th. To learn more about the White House Champions of Change program and nominate a Champion, visit whitehouse.gov/champions.
