Greener Idaho
We are very excited to have an ongoing area on our Web site for environmental health in our state. Each month we will have new, interesting topics to educate and help us advocate for improved environmental health. We encourage each of you to submit news, information and links for possible inclusion in the Greener Idaho section. We would like to see participation from all areas of the state, work places - hospitals, schools, clinics, rural and urban areas, education, research and practice. Submissions may be sent by email (in ready to publish format) to Dr. Ingrid Brudenell, Greener Idaho Editor, at ibruden@boisestate.edu. (read Ingrid Brudenell's bio)
