Promote Healthy Air Quality to Prevent Illness and Death

Target: Mike Purzycki, Mayor of Wilmington, Delaware

Wilmington stands at a critical crossroads as air quality concerns escalate. Current air quality standards are falling short of safeguarding the well-being of the community, impeding the right to breathe clean air. The air people breathe directly affects people’s health, environment, and overall quality of life. While it’s a challenge faced by many urban areas, Wilmington’s unique circumstances require tailored and robust solutions.

Existing regulations have proven inadequate in curbing harmful emissions, resulting in an unacceptable burden on the health of residents and the environment. Airborne pollutants, known to contribute to respiratory illnesses and other health issues, pose a grave concern for the citizens. Moreover, the long-term ecological impacts of air pollution on the ecosystems, including water bodies and wildlife, cannot be ignored.

Sign the petition below to demand comprehensive and stricter air quality standards for the well-being of Wilmington’s residents and environment.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mayor Purzycki,

The air we breathe shapes our health and defines the vitality of our environment. As concerned global citizens, we implore you to recognize the urgency of the air quality crisis in Wilmington. The current situation jeopardizes both human health and our shared ecosystem.

Wilmington deserves better. It deserves air that is clean, safe, and conducive to the well-being of all who call it home. Stricter air quality standards are not just a necessity, but a moral imperative. By adopting comprehensive measures to reduce harmful emissions and pollutants, we can ensure a healthier and more sustainable future for Wilmington.

We urge you to take decisive action and implement more stringent air quality regulations. Let Wilmington set an example of proactive environmental stewardship and public health protection. The community’s well-being and the integrity of the ecosystem hang in the balance.

Sincerely,
