Addressing the Threats to Fertility and Environment: Curriculum Insights from Our Stolen Future

This document explores critical environmental issues related to fertility, highlighting the impact of fungicides like vinclozolin and persistent organic pollutants such as PCBs and DDT. It references research indicating adverse effects on male rats, including reduced sperm counts and anatomical changes. Furthermore, it outlines the EVEN curriculum's options in air quality, applied ecology, and environmental remediation, emphasizing the need for comprehensive education on these pressing topics to foster an environmentally conscious generation.
