Biophelia Health Forecast Scenario Planning Volunteer, CrowdDoingPlant proximity has been shown to be beneficial in multiple ways including from air pollution reduction & stress reduction. These leverage points have been demonstrated to have positive medical consequences in terms of reduced opioid addiction, reduced medical mistakes, prevention of diseases & conditions such as hypertension & related complications, asthma, heart attacks, strokes, cancer, diabetes, alzheimers & dementia, schizophrenia, rheumatoid arthritisacute pancreatits, chronic kidney disease. We have also evaluated the consequences of proximity to plants on hospital staff presenteeism, absenteeism & turnover rates.
We have concluded that under any scenario we have tested, a network of plant walls & vertical gardens and other uses of plants could pay for themselves in as little as two years and provide beneficial outcomes for more than 20 years. Plant proximity is understood by the scientific community through the lens of ""biophelia"". Biophelia is the visual & sensory experience of plants and proximity to plants. You have expertise relevant to reviewing for validity and applicability our simulation of biophelia in hospitals. Our draft aims to forecast the social outcomes that could be caused by varying scenarios of biophelia in hospitals. We have identified more than 100 outcomes that in principle can be attributed to biophelia. We present here in draft for review a partial simulation of this impact potential. We have aimed to consider prospective benefits to all stakeholders. We have structured this to be a flexible model that can be adapted to any hospital circumstance. We’ve aimed to identify both health outcomes, environmental outcomes financial outcomes.

Since January 2018, 350 Tacoma (with the support of EarthCorps and City of Tacoma Environmental Services) have been working to restore a tiny neglected salt marsh and mud flat deep in the industrial Port of Tacoma, nestled between an oil terminal and a container shipping yard. We'd love your help! If you would like to be notified about upcoming work party dates, please let us know by sending an email to 350tacoma@gmail.comLocation: North side of Port of Tacoma Road between Lincoln Ave and Maxwell Way. The site is just north of the Washington United Terminal. Please park in front or along Maxwell Way. Look for the orange EarthCorps signs and the 350 Tacoma banner. It helps if you arrive on time because you’ll see people milling about.
Our goal is to love this little one acre open space back to health. That involves picking up garbage, pulling out invasive weeds, restoring the soil, planting native plants and trees, and creating walkways and signage. The salt marsh was initially named for a French chemical company—Rhone Poulenc—that once operated on this site, but in consultation with the Puyallup Tribal Language Program we are working through the process to restore a native Twulshootseed place name: qʷiqʷəlut (“little marsh”).
EarthCorps supplies gloves, tools, water and snack bars. Site stewards will teach you everything you need to know about tool use, safety, and the importance of the work you will be doing. No experience necessary, just come ready to learn something new. This is a great way to meet other 350 Tacoma volunteers and get involved. Bring friends or come alone, but join us!

Too often consumers and the public are supportive of our cause—but they just don’t know it.This is why we need to be where they are, and attend events including markets, fairs, and festivals, to make people aware of the injustices inflicted upon animals. Having a presence at such events gives us the opportunity to interact directly with the public, including engaging in face-to-face conversations, handing out informational fliers, or soliciting petition signatures. And it’s a great way to meet new people, too!
Tabling opportunities include:
• Educating members of the public about key animal welfare issues such the caging of laying hens, dairy cow welfare, and fish binding

However, without public awareness we will never be able to create the society we seek. As a volunteer speaker, you will have the opportunity to educate influential institutions and the public, swaying their views on the issues that affect animals.
Speaking opportunities include:
• Speaking to the public, institutions, schools, and at events about the welfare issues confronting caged laying hens
