Physicians for Social Responsibility
Sacramento Chapter

Environmental Work

We believe that global climate change, the pollution of our air, water, and soil, and the extinction of other species resulting from the encroachment on their habitats by human society present a critical threat to our planet's ecosystem. We promote safe, renewable forms of energy that reduce pollution and our dependence on oil. We support family planning and maintenance of human population at levels which do not threaten other life on our planet. We work to reduce toxic hazards in our communities, our schools, and our workplaces, including the medical care setting. And we support sustainable agriculture, without use of harmful pesticides and other chemicals. We believe that we have a responsibility to future generations to leave the planet in a better condition than we found it.
