Urban health, grounded in long-term sustainability, depends on healthy, productive communities that address environmental injustices by:
- Identifying pollutants and contaminants in our neighborhoods and around our home environments and learning how to minimize the potential risks they pose,
- Promoting safe, equitable, and just access to fresh produce grown in uncontaminated soil,
- Ensuring abundant access to naturalized green spaces, and
- Expanding urban walkability and energy efficient transportation.
