A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LONG BEACH SUPPORTING CLEAN AIR DAY
2021
WHEREAS, in 2020, the Long Beach-Los Angeles metro area was ranked by the American Lung Association as the most polluted metro area in the United States; and
WHEREAS, with significant commuter vehicle traffic along roads and freeways, the port-related industry, associated movement of goods by trucks, and various industrial emitters, the air quality in Long Beach leaves tremendous room for improvement; and
WHEREAS, California Clean Air Day is built on the idea that shared experiences unite people to act to improve our community health; and WHEREAS, while there has been progress to improve our air quality, including significant efforts by the Port of Long Beach to fight air pollution, there is more to be done to meet critical deadlines set by the Clean Air Act; and WHEREAS, by joining together for a unified day of action, the City of Long Beach can lead the way and create new habits to clear the air for all members of California's diverse communities; and
WHEREAS, additionally, increasing public education on the causes and effects of detrimental air pollution empowers and engages residents to advocate for a cleaner-air future for themselves and their children; and WHEREAS, in January 2021, the City approved a framework for the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan (CAAP), which highlights the significant pollution impacts from trucking, commuter vehicles, and stationary industrial emitters such as power plants; and
