Dear Nursing Colleagues,
We are writing to announce a new web presence known as “e-Commons” (www.e-commons.org ) and to introduce you to the “Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments” a new organization of individual nurses and representatives of nursing organizations that are addressing environmental health through nursing and patient education, nursing practice, research, and policy efforts. ( www.e-Commons.org/anhe )
Nurses now have a new nursing organization and a unique and powerful resource with which to engage in environmental health issues.
“e-Commons” is a revolutionary new website that is being co-created by the world of nurses who are concerned about a wide range of issues related to the environment and human health. We welcome you and encourage you to visit this new web-based tool for nursing. www.e-commons.org
Nurses are greening their curriculum, greening their hospitals, engaging in environmental health research, and advocating for policies at the institutional, local, state, and national level that protect people from environmental health risks and promote a healthy and sustainable world. For us every day is Earth Day!!
We would very much appreciate if you would share this information among your nursing constituents and colleagues.
Please find the following attachments that we encourage you to use:
- A brochure describing the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments (ANHE)
- A short blurb and an article about the Alliance and e-Commons that you can use as you see fit
- A Media Release-announcement that you can send out via your communication mechanisms (listserves, e-newsletters, publications, etc.)
