✅ Advocate for health-forward policies at the local, state or national level
✅ Serve as a community health champion in schools, workplaces or neighborhoods

✅ Invest in walkable, green and climate-resilient communities
✅ Support community clean-up and beautification projects
✅ Participate in Bike, Bus and Safe Routes to School initiatives

Together, we can identify climate solutions that improve public health and build more resilient communities. 🌱
