Promoting Citizen Health

Campaign Poster

Unfortunately, the pollution situation in the big cities is not sustainable and the consequences for the health of the citizens is ever more serious. Particularly for children and older people. Starting in Milan, Italia dei Valori has decided to create an information campaign to raise awareness about this.
“Promoting Citizen Health is the title of the antismog initiative organised by Italia die Valori in Milan. Italia die Valori has planned a month dedicated to distributing information and raising awareness about pollution, its causes, its effects and its possible solutions.
The antismog month started 25 February, the same day as the total block on traffic in the North of Italy. The anti smog month ends 25 March.
During this month there will be 4 information points at Piazza Cordusio, Piazza San Babila, Piazza Argentina and Piazza Leonardo da Vinci. There’ll also be an opinion survey face to face and online at www.antoniodipietro.it. It’s about traffic, transport, and what it’s like living in Milan.
In the Auditorium S. Carlo at 8:15pm on 6 March , 13 March and 20 March there will be meetings with the major organisations concerned with the protection of public health, traffic reduction and environmental protection.
Medical practitioners specialised in the diseases and conditions caused by pollution will be participating.”
