What's a "terramedic"?
terramedic (noun) — from Latin terra (earth) + medicus (healer). A person who takes action to heal the Earth.
The word "terramedics" was coined by Leila Hadj-Chikh as the name for her team at Conservation X Labs' Make for the Planet competition at the inaugural Earth Optimism Summit in 2017 in Washington, DC.
