Unmask My City: Because everyone deserves clean air and a stable climate
- Abstract
Through Unmask My City, health organizations and health professionals in participating cities are pushing for solutions such as congestion charging to reduce car and truck traffic in cities; increased support for active transportation and cleaner-energy public transit; phasing out construction of new coal power plants; and monitoring and regulating sources of industrial and natural dust. Reducing air pollution is a win-win, because everyone deserves to breathe clean air and live in a stable climate.
