Situation in Environmental Health is ever-changing, especially nowadays with many new challenges such as globalization, consumerism, climate and demographic change etc. We face new geographic scale of diseases, obesity in some areas as well as famine in others, we waste water in some countries in times of draught in others. Everyone of us in every corner of the world has different challenges and milestones. Lets put the real environmental health situation on the scale and see how we could overcome these challenges, survive and thrive in these changing times. Lets do it TOGETHER!
