HEALTH 6 MEDICINE / ENVIRONMENT ECOLOGY “This remarkable book covers a lot of ground, and does it with rigor, compassion, and humanity. Dying Green will get you to think not just about the greening of health care, but also about how you want to handle the eventual end of your own life—you will want to read this book.” -BILL McKIBBEN, author of The End of Nature “Dying Green has the potential to break through the superficial ‘greening of hospitals’ mindset and to address deeper levels of the relationship between health and sustainability. Vatovec has a strong understanding of sustainability and resources.” 4 , -TEEL.GUIDOTTI, author of Health and Sustainability: An Introduction The slow violence inflicted on our environment—through everything from carbon emissions to plastic pollution—is an impending public health catastrophe. Yet standard health care practices are more concerned with short-term outcomes than long-term sustainability. The resources used to deliver medical care, from IV tubes to antibiotics to electricity, have a significant environmental impact, raising an urgent ethical dilemma: in improving the health outcomes of individual patients, are we damaging human health on a global scale? In Dying Green, Christine Vatovec offers a comparative analysis of the care pro vided to terminally ill patients in a conventional cancer ward, a palliative care unit, and an acute-care hospice facility , showing how decisions made at a patient’s bedside govern the environmental footprint of the health care industry. Dying Green also offers insights on the opportunities for
reducing ecological impacts of medical practices in general, while also enhancing care for the dying. By envisioning a more sustainable approach to care, this book offers a way forward that is better for both patients and the planet. CHRISTINE VATOVEC is a research assistant professor at the University of Vermont, an award-winning lecturer, and a fellow at the Gund Institute for Environment. A VOLUME IN THE CRITICAL ISSUES IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE SERIES, edited by Rima D. Apple, Janet Golden, and Rana A. Hogarth
