About the Lecture

Going green is about making environmentally, socially and
economically
sound decisions that will improve quality of life. That includes
living in a way that can reduce the influences in our lives that can
result in disease. In the first of our Southwest-Green Breakfast
lectures at Town Tavern, Dr. John Carpten will discuss how factors
within our environment can affect the risk of developing cancer.
