New Zealand Doctor brings Green message to Brisbane
Dr Aryan Tavakkoli MBBS FRACP is a Doctor from the Hutt Valley in New Zealand who practices as a Consultant Physician in Respiratory Medicine. Dr Tavakkoli is in Brisbane to impart her knowledge over two nights in Brisbane on Tuesday 7 and Wednesday 8 September with her seminar Greening up your Workplace taking place in Mount Gravatt and Windsor.
As more and more people become aware of the reality of climate change and are taking steps to lead lives that are more environmentally friendly – we are recycling more, buying more green products, reducing our consumption of fuel – yet there is one change that we can all make in our lifestyles that would have a far greater impact on preventing the destruction of our planet.
“All of us are concerned about the future well-being of our children,” says Dr Aryan Tavakkoli. “It’s not just about eating locally grown organic produce, it’s about being part of the solution to help the Earth instead of eating into our children’s future.” In an engaging and thought-provoking presentation, Dr Aryan Tavakkoli discusses the many-fold effects of our dietary choices, from personal health, to ecological and environmental effects, through to global issues including climate change and even world hunger.
Evidence offered shows the direct link between our diets and global warming, the melting of polar ice caps, tropical deforestation and World hunger. Learn about the most influential way you can protect the environment. Data and research will be presented from the World Health Organisation, the United Nations, and leading scientific journals, demonstrating the profound impact our diet has on our lives and on the life (and destruction) of our planet.
Dr Aryan has written and spoken widely about these topics and has presented her talk, Our Diet: Leading to a Sustainable Future, or Killing Our Planet? in many venues around New Zealand. She has been interviewed about the link between diet and climate change by both local and national radio and newspapers.
Green Earth Group, the not-for-profit environmental awareness group is working on similar seminars to educate the Brisbane public on how they can make simple but effective ways in enacting positive change and welcome Dr Aryan to help spread this important message.
