Resolved: Continuing
Environmental Health Coalition’s Successes Into 2007 |
ACTION! |
These resolutions will only be possible if we act together. Join EHC in the fight for a toxic-free future by getting involved and demanding our right to a healthy environment.

THE FIGHT AGAINST LEAD POISONING
We need the adoption of the Children’s Right to Lead Safe Housing in 2007 by the San Diego City Council to prevent, identify and remedy lead hazards in housing before children are poisoned.

WASHINGTON D.C. AND THE TURNING POINT FOR TRADE
We have the opportunity now to make sure the administration does not send a US-Peru or US-Colombia free trade agreement to the US Congress, which are both based on the flawed NAFTA model. “Fast Track” must expire on June 30, 2007, and Congress’s constitutional authority to negotiate trade agreements must be restored. |
|
A HEALTHIER FUTURE FOR CHULA VISTA
We need the City of Chula Vista and the Port District to unify and oppose a new gas-fired power plant on the Bayfront, make teardown of the old plant a top priority, and create a new energy plan.
A landmark Chula Vista Bayfront development plan needs to be crafted to include actions to protect the environment, create good jobs, serve the community and contribute to the local economy. |

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Toxic polluting businesses must be phased out of Old Town National City with a new Specific Plan that protects the health and well-being of residents.
Barrio Logan residents must be involved in the development of their new community plan, which should reflect the Barrio Logan Vision’s priorities of affordable housing, separation of polluters and homes, and preservation of community character.
San Diego needs a Clean Ports Plan that reduces the health and environmental impacts of freight transport from the Tenth Avenue Marine Terminal in Barrio Logan and the National City Marine Terminal. |
