Physicians for Social Responsibility

Abstract

PSR is a network of all types of health professionals, students and advocates across the U.S. and concentrated in 20 chapters in 15 states along with a national office. Our members and staff provide public education and outreach about the health threats of climate change and their solutions. We are currently pushing for implementation of the Clean Power Plan. We work to keep fossil fuels including methane in the ground and work to stop fossil fuels exports. We bring information about the health threats of mining, burning and transporting natural gas, coal and oil to policymakers along with the health benefits of developing sustainable means of electricity, transport and heating.
