Clearing the Air: A Healthier Future for Chicago’s Black Neighborhoods
Introduction to the Opportunity
Chicago’s Black neighborhoods face a pressing environmental challenge: high levels of pollution that lead to chronic health issues like asthma. However, this challenge also presents an opportunity for collective action and innovation. By working together, residents, community leaders, and organizations are creating a healthier future for all Chicagoans.
Community in Action
Pollution disproportionately affects communities of color, with significant health impacts. Organizations are leading efforts to improve air quality and promote environmental justice through community-led projects like park cleanups and community gardens. These initiatives are transforming neighborhoods and promoting sustainability.
