Made for Equally Informed Philly/Resolve Philly on Reels in partnership with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission for the #MyAirMyHealthChallenge.

Philadelphia’s heat islands are affected by fewer trees and green space. Did you know that Block Captains work with PMBC to plant trees and spruce up green spaces in their neighborhoods? These efforts help increase tree cover and bring down temperatures.

Call PMBC at (215) 685-3971 for more info on how to become a Block Captain! Keep following the #MyAirMyHealthChallenge for more info on air quality and extreme heat.
