Welcome
Communities are concerned about health effects of inactivity and poor nutrition and are taking action. Community leaders recognize that citizens can’t move more or eat healthier foods without changes in their environment. Education and awareness alone won’t result in change. Safe sidewalks, trails, and bicycle lanes make it easier for people to move about and leave their car at home. Healthy food
choice in school cafeterias and restaurants well supported food banks, and neighborhood farmers markets offer options for healthier food. Making sustainable community changes involves long term partnerships among public health, private business, municipal government, community advocates, planners, developers, schools and neighborhoods.
