Living Earth Festival Symposium: Tribal ecoAmbassadors
Description
Communities are the places where individuals join together in powerful ways to make change. Throughout the United States, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) scientists, Tribal College and University professors, and Native students have embarked on projects to help community residents become part of an environmentally conscious future. In this symposium, Tribal ecoAmbassadors explain how they are developing innovative and locally relevant solutions to protect public health and the environment—from creating carbon-negative and sustainable building materials to participatory air quality monitoring to exploring the impacts mercury and other toxics have on human health. The symposium was webcast from the Rasmuson Theater at the National Museum of the American Indian on July 20, 2013. Presented in partnership with the EPA.
