5.) Green Tip: Travel smart by flying less
Summer travel season is here, but there are ways to get there without destroying our planet. Flying causes five to 10 times more pollution per passenger mile than ground-based options. It accounts for 8 percent of UofL’s total carbon footprint. Consider greener, less sardine-like options: video- or teleconference; carpool; take the train or bus (Megabus, Miller and Greyhound all serve Louisville). If you must fly, offset your emissions by investing in local forests through the Appalachian Carbon Partnership.
Additional Information: Details on alternatives to flying here.
6.) Management of chronic disease in persons with dementia
July 7, noon to 1, Ambulatory Care Building Auditorium
Free
As our population ages, the incidence of chronic diseases increases, as does the incidence of dementia. Dr. Rangaraj Gopalraj and Sharon Mattingly, UofL Geriatrics, and Betty Shiels, Kent School, will explore these issues, providing insights for care planning, decision-making, and the involvement of the person and caregiver in this process. Sponsored by the OVAR/GEC; Lunch provided by Institute for Sustainable Health & Optimal Aging. Please RSVP to optimalaging@louisville.edu or 852-5629.
Additional Information: Ann Burke.
