From toilets to toxics, from watershed management to waste management, from raising crops to rising temperatures, how we use natural resources affects our health and well-being.

This highly illustrated guide helps health promoters, developmentworkers, environmental activists, and community leaders take charge of their environmental health. In small villages and large cities, A Community Guide to Environmental Health can provide the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to begin transforming the crisis in environmental health.

This book contains activities to stimulate critical thinking and discussion, inspirational stories, and instructions for simple health technologies such as water purification methods, safe toilets, and non-toxic cleaning products (23 chapters).

A Community Guide to Environmental Health is available in Chinese, Spanish, and English and, thanks to nonprofit World Reader, our sanitation information is distributed to schools in Africa on donated tablets for free. See: http://www.hesperian.org/
