Are you an older person worried about the climate for now and for future generations? Do you, like most older people, have concerns for your own health and how to maximise your health as you age? 

BOLD Climate Action presents “Healthy Ageing/ Healthy Planet”. This short series of webinars by BOLD is being delivered in partnership with Irish Doctors for the Environment and supported by Friends of the Earth.

Through the series we will delve into topics which highlight the positive and interdependent links between caring for our health as we age and caring for our ailing planet. This webinar series aims to provide practical, person-centred information and advice on taking better care of ourselves as we age. We want to show that as older people, we can choose to invest in our health in a way that also supports the health of the planet.

Our upcoming webinar 'Plastics, They’re Everywhere: Is This a Problem?'

Speaker: Dr Jennifer Hayes (GP working in Palliative Care)

Wednesday, April 1st, 7pm

In this webinar, we will be taking a deep dive into plastic production, its carbon footprint and future trends. We will be exploring how humans are exposed to plastic, how micro-plastics have entered our food chain and the effects of this on human health.  We will be looking in more detail at the EU regulation of one particular group of plastics - bisphenols.  We will also discuss some of the emerging ways of dealing with plastic waste. 

Finally, we will take some time to examine what you can do and we can do together, and strategies aimed at surviving the existential distress associated with man-made environmental issues such as microplastics.
