June is Men's Health Month

The purpose of Men's Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. Alarming statistics show that men's health is at great risk. On average, men die almost 6 years younger than women and suffer higher mortality rates for the top causes of death. The lives of hundreds of thousands of men will continue to be threatened unless immediate action is taken to combat this growing crisis.

The Kansas Green Schools Initiative represents the collaborative effort of the Bureaus of Water, Air and Radiation, Waste Management and Environmental Remediation to promote environmental stewardship for Kansas Schools statewide. Through the Kansas Green Schools Program, there are opportunities for grants, workshops for teachers, and technical support for schools to "green" their buildings and grounds. Incorporating projects into the classroom curriculum is one goal of the program. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment partner for the Green Schools Program is the Kansas Association for Conservation and Environmental Education (KACEE).
