Five issues stood out as high priorities:
In addition, health disparities and environmental sustainability rated highly as guiding principles for this work.
Throughout the spring, the CARE project team will be working with community members to figure out what we can do together to reduce the impacts of these risks. The team will look at existing resources and explore other approaches to deal with these risks.

Comments Off Over the past year, we’ve talked to 100’s of people in East Phillips and Longfellow about environmental and health risks in their communities.
People talked about the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the food they eat. They mentioned household concerns – including lead, mold, pests, and toxics — as well as global concerns related to environmental sustainability and the economic crisis. Others focused on health issues such as asthma, obesity, and access to health care. Overall, 20 priority issues were identified by community members.
