national parks, cruise ships, amusement parks, laboratories, water and wastewater treatment, disaster management, education, and restau- rants for the armed services, nonprofits, gov- ernment agencies, and industry in the U.S. We are a storybook with never-ending stories that involve all genres including action, adventure, detective work, mystery, science, inspiration, hope, changing lives, and communities. What environmental health professionals need to improve on is spreading the message. When I speak with environmental health professionals throughout the county, they all passionately talk about environmental health since they care about our profession, which is much more powerful than talking about
things we are ambivalent about. The more environmental health professionals we have spreading the word, the better because people listen more closely to people they care about or are in their community. The National Environmental Health Association is devel- oping messages you can add to your tool kit to spread the word about this wonderful, wild world of environmental health. We all know the more positive contact you have with your audience, the better your message will be not only received but also ingrained in people’s heads. Think of the slogans for Nike (Just Do It) and Wheaties (Breakfast of Champions)—when you hear these slogan you know the brand. One of our
slogans could be “Environmental Health: The Profession Changing the World.” As Aristotle said, “There can be no words without images.” Good storytellers make emo- tional connections. We have the stories, images, and storytellers to share this wonderful, wild world of environmental health. As Jimmy Cli sang in One More , “I got one more story to tell; Mystery, my story; I got one more story to tell; True story, my glory; One more, one more, one more, one more.” Please help spread the envi- ronmental health word day and night by shar- ing your story with everyone in sight.
