Aging, Health, and Environments

For those interested in health and aging, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is perhaps a surprising source of useful information. Their Aging Initiative has a useful web site and list serve, bot accessible at http://www.epa.gov/aging/index.htm. Topics covered include environmental health, aging and smart growth, and environmental activism for older people. It is well worth a look.

 

The EPA’s National Agenda for the Environment and Aging
received input from listing sessions during 2003.

Other resources on older people, health, and planning are available on the Design for Health web site at http://designforhealth.net/resources/seniors.html
