| Promote the Public Health : Action Plan
Action 16
Every year identify three products, chemicals, or compounds that are
used within your city that represent the greatest risk to human
health and adopt a law to eliminate their sale and use in the city.
This should start with municipal procurement to ensure that city
government workers are not exposed to hazardous chemicals or
materials.
Action 17 Promote the public health
and environmental benefits of supporting organic and sustainably
grown foods, especially produce and products produced within the
region. Ensure that 50% of the food served in public facilities is
local and organic within seven years.
Action 18 Establish an
Air Quality Index (AQI) to measure the level of air pollution and
set the goal of reducing by 10% in seven years the number of days
categorized in the AQI range as “unhealthy”.
