What do you do for a living?

"He sells s*%! pumps"

"I work in public health"

"Do you really like working inwaste treatment?"

"Oh, blood!"

"You're full of motor oil!"

"That's a bunch of Pepsi."

Read "Built to Last"

"Environment" sells us short

To whom do we answer?

Nature loves what we send back

If people matter most,we're in public health

Your rivals aren'twho you think they are

Complacency

Mindless "infrastructure" spending

Bottled water

Rival #1: Complacency

Roads and bridges

Cash for Clunkers

"Cheap and dirty"

Bottled water: The paradox

Time and opportunityare running out

Interest rates

Shrinking communities

Deteriorating infrastructure

When to speak up

When to stunt

Turning "wastewater treatment"into "preserving public health"

Changing minds one-on-one

Reaching out to the public

Changing our self-talk

"Helping the environment"

Protecting the public health so you can enjoy

the privilege of civilization
