An Inclusive Litany

2/8/93

The Journal of the American Medical Association, November 18, 1992:
In response to a growing number of members concerned about environmental issues, we are offering all of our members a chance to write a new kind of prescription for JAMA and a healthier planet.

You now have the opportunity to waive your membership subscription to JAMA for the sake of the environment. By reading a colleague's copy of JAMA, you can help reduce the amount of paper waste going into landfills—perhaps the most serious environmental issue facing our planet today.

We recognize that this option may not be for everyone; only members who have ready access to another copy of JAMA may want to exercise it. You should still read JAMA every week for up-to-date medical information you can use every day.

To write your own prescription for a healthier planet and voluntarily waive your JAMA subscription, detach and mail this postage-paid card today. The money allocated from your dues will be diverted to other important AMA programs such as the National Coalition of Physicians Against Family Violence and Health Youth 2000, to name two.
