Mayor-elect Emanuel’s response to the Green Growth Platform Forum Question related to the coal-fired power plants in Chicago: Midwest Generation must clean up these two plants, either by installing the necessary infrastructure to dramatically reduce the pollution they emit, or by converting to natural gas or another clean fuel. I will work closely with State and Federal regulators and the City Council to make sure it happens. www.elpc.org/2011/01/18/ mayoralgreenplatform.html

In 2006, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and Midwest Generation Agreement on Combined Pollutant Standards was claimed to be one of the most important environmental and public health advances in Illinois history. The standards require Midwest Gen to close or install additional pollution control equipment at the Fisk Generation Station by the end of 2015 and the Crawford Station by the end of 2018. www. illinois.gov/pressreleases/ ShowPressRelease. fm?SubjectID=1&RecNum=5591

Fisk and Crawford contribute 3% of particulate matter and 3% of N2O in Cook County, by comparison diesel trucks alone contribute 29% of N2O in Cook County. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Air Quality Report. www.epa.state.il.us/air/ air-quality-report/

When originally built, Fisk and Crawford were some of the first power plants with electrostatic precipitators to remove particulate matter from the emissions. The technology uses static cling to charge particles and have them stick to the precipitator. The technology was advanced in the 1960s, but the equipment is breaking down and needs to be upgraded. Brian Urbaszewski, Respiratory Health Alliance of Metropolitan Chicago

Chicago has one of the highest asthma rates in the country. Our asthma hospitalization rate is nearly double the national average. www. cleanpowerchicago.org/

Particulate matter from these plants impairs visibility and contributes to lung cancer, heart attacks, premature deaths, acute and chronic bronchitis, emergency room visits, asthma and other respiratory illnesses. www.cleanpowerchicago.org/

The estimated annual impacts of Fisk and Crawford are 40 premature deaths, 2800 asthma attacks, and 550 emergency room visits. Levy, Jonathan I., John D. Spengler, et. al. 2001. Using CALPUFF to evaluate the impacts of power plant emissions in Illinois: model sensitivity and implications. Atmospheric Environment 10 September 2001.

More people live near Fisk and Crawford than any other coalfired power plants in the US. The population density surrounding Fisk alone is nearly twice that of the next most densely populated coal-fired power plant neighborhood. SourceWatch, www.sourcewatch.org/index. php?title=Midwest_Generation

49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore introduced the Chicago Clean Power Ordinance to City Council in 2010. The ordinance, if passed, would require Fisk and Crawford to reduce their emissions of soot and global warming pollution, by having the City of Chicago enact stricter regulations than those set at the state or federal level. www.cleanpowerchicago.org/

On March 8, 2011, Alderman Daniel Solis of the 25th Ward had a ‘change of heart’ and has become the latest cosponsor of the Chicago Clean Power Ordinance. Pilsen Environmental Rights and Reform Organization declares victory. www. pilsenperro.org/presskit/ OPressRelease_2011_03_08.pdf

Since 1999, Midwest Gen’s Chicago plants have reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide by 30%, nitrogen oxides by 60%, and mercury by over 70%. Fisk and Crawford Facts Environmental Record: www. fiskandcrawfordfacts.com/ environmental-record

More than 99 percent of fine particulate matter in Cook County air comes from sources other than Crawford and Fisk – including cars, trucks and buses, construction sites and others. In other words, even if the plants did not exist, more than 99 percent of the fine particles in the outdoor air people breathe near the plants and throughout Cook County would still be present. www. fiskandcrawfordfacts.com/ sites/default/files/pdf/mwgen_ airquality.pdf

Not only is Midwest Generation working hard to ensure the safety and reliability of Fisk and Crawford, its renewable energy affiliate in Illinois is building one of the state’s largest wind energy farms in Lee and Bureau counties. The Illinois wind farm is just one of 30 wind farms operated throughout the country by Edison Mission Group, parent company of Midwest Generation. These wind farms generate enough electricity to power more than half a million homes. Fisk and Crawford Facts - Environmental Record: www. fiskandcrawfordfacts.com/ environmental-record

ACT: 001

Trees reduce air pollution by trapping particulate matter in their leafy canopies and by absorbing noxious pollution into their leaves. The particulate matter is eventually washed away with rain. Absorbed pollutants are incorporated into the soil after leaf fall where they are broken down by microbes. These actions reduce human health problems related to air pollution. www.pubs.ext. vt.edu/420/420-181/420-181.html

Changes in soil characteristics and quality around coal-fired power plants have been welldocumented an include physical changes like increased density and decreased porosity, as well as chemical changes like increased pH and, most importantly the presence of contaminants.

Mission

To distribute information and resources that engage residents in a dialogue and empower them to protect themselves from the dangers of poor air quality.

Indoor plants have proven effective in reducing airborne particulates, removing pollution and improving air quality. Many indoor houseplants are easy to grow and do not require direct sunlight. The following fourteen houseplants have been identified as most effective in cleaning the air; English Ivy, Spider Plant, Golden Pothos, Chinese Evergreen, Bamboo or Reed Palm, Snake Plant, Heartleaf Philodendron, Selloum Philodendron, Elephant Ear Philodendron, Red Edged Dracaena, Cornstalk Dracaena, Janet Craig Dracaena, Warneck Dracaena, Weeping Fig. Plants Clean Air and Water for Indoor Environments, NASA, www.sti. nasa.gov/tto/Spinoff2007/ps_3. html

Fisk and Crawford are Chicago’s largest point sources of particulate-forming air pollution.

COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS

The Ministry of Clean Air is coalition of local environmental or public health community-based organizations and their dedicated volunteer base. The Ministry targets those most significantly impacted by the coalfired power plants and other point source air pollution sources in Chicago. Community based-organizations are encouraged to join forces behind the Ministry, similar to how they have united under the Clean Power Coalition.

TARGET COMMUNITIES

The communities impacted by the coalfired power plants in Chicago represent an incredibly diverse cross-section of the city. Language barriers do exist. Keeping the Ministry messaging simple and relying on icons over text will be key in bringing these tools to many of the communities listed below.

The Ministry of Clean Air will be implemented by a number of community-based organizations, a sample few listed below, that will share the Ministry tool kit with their constituents. The volunteer base of these groups will be instrumental in bringing the Ministry to the people. Many of these groups have leveraged countless volunteer hours to successfully advance progressive policies. The Ministry allows these groups to reinvigorate volunteer energy and hit the streets with a proactive message to protect residents from the dangers of poor air quality.

Educational material

One of the main functions of the Ministry is to keep the public informed of the most up-to-date information on air quality and related health concerns. The Ministry cannot rely on its mobile platforms and events alone. Print and digital educational material is necessary to ensure that the Ministry’s voice of hope and clean air will not get carried off with the wind.

Among many other things, trees moderate climate and purify the air by removing soot, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants. When it rains, pollutants are washed off the leaves and soak into the soil, removing them from the air. The best trees for this job are the English Elm, American Sycamore, Black Walnut, Common Linden, European Larch, Red Spruce.

Rational

Once the pollutants settle into the soil, they can be made further immobile by planting specific species that can take up contaminants into their biomass, removing them from the soil over time. Sunflowers are one colorful way to improve the soil quality.

What better way to add a little color to a room? A houseplant is an inexpensive and simple solution to revitalize the air in homes. By handing out indoor plants to residents, it reminds them that the small steps can lead to big changes.

The Fisk and Crawford Initiative Public Protection Plan

Indoor plants

A quiet, energy-efficient and decorative solution to improving up indoor air quality is with houseplants. They absorb toxins through their leaves, the larger leaves the better. Air-filtering plants have even been found to increase human productivity and reduce of energy demand in buildings.

Rational Trips to nature preserves not only expose residents to fresh air, but hiking trails encourage active lifestyles and new experiences keep people young and healthy.

A Few Nearby Getaways Dan Ryan Woods - A 244 acre preserve, home to the highest point in Chcago and a popular picnic site. Take the Metra Rock Island Suburban Line outbound train to the 91st St. station located next to the preserve’s southern tip - Or- take the CTA Bus 87 marked “87th /Western.” Get off between Damen and Western Ave. at preserve entrance.

The Fisk and Crawford Initiative Public Protection Plan

Fresh Air Getaway

City life can move at an unhealthy pace. A trip to a forest preserve offers residents a way to get out and explore the vast life of nature. Some might not even be aware of these tranquil and fascinating places, but there are 68,000 acres of natural areas in Cook County Forest Preserves, many of which are accessible by public transit. The Ministry will distribute pre-paid day passes for public transit rides to a nearby oasis.

Eggers Woods - Located along Chicago’s southeastern border, this preserve of 151-acres connects to the Old Plank Road Bike Trail and contains both woodland and wetland habitats. Take the CTA Bus 30 marked “Brandon /Brainard” and get off at 112th St./ Ewing Ave. Walk east on 112th St. for 5-6 blocks to the woods located at 112th St./ Ave. E. This bus also connects to the CTA Red Line Train at 69th St. There is no bus service north of 91st St. on Sundays.

03.10 Rational A window air filter is a convenient and affordable way to clean up dirty, illness-causing air in the home. They are easy to install as they pop into any existing window frame.

The Fisk and Crawford Initiative Public Protection Plan

Window Air Filters

Window air screens are designed to filter out harmful air particles and clean up indoor air. These sneaky pollutants, like soot, can even take up residence in furniture. The screens allow the household, especially asthma and allergy sufferers, to enjoy fresh, clean breezes. Some window filters can prevent over 95% of air borne particles from entering; making homes and offices safe while allowing you to still hear the birds singing. While current window filter products are competent at maintaining air quality within the home, their visual effect is not exactly stunning. We propose the development of a new screen that moves beyond function and provides visual interest both inside the home and from the street. Colored screens, available in the ten Ministry of Clean Air colors can be popped in and out of the frame, allowing the user to customize their living space. Visible from the streets, these patterns will serve as a visual manifestation of the Ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact throughout the community.

oxygen Bar

An oxygen dispenses oxygen for recreational use; usually for sale and is often associated with expendable income spending for entertainment or cheesy mall booths. Individual flavored scents may be added to enhance the experience. While it is debatable if breathing in higher than normal amounts of oxygen is normal, or even unhealthy, it is often considered an therapeutic practice and is a perfect opportunity to attract the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention and to offer a relaxing experience.

A dirty, untended respiratory system can cause the lungs to beg, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;more qi, pleaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Community acupuncture to the rescue! Polluted air can cause various lung, respiratory and immunity disorders, such as asthma and allergies. Acupuncture, along with herbs, is a natural way to heal and balance the disorder. It strengthens the body to ward off invasive elements. Community acupuncture is an affordable way to improve health. It allows for a group of residents to get individualized treatments in a communal setting. Two acupuncturists can set up six recliner chairs and the patients receive thirty to fortyfive minute sessions. Yoga and other physical fitness practices can also be lead by the Ministry to support and improve the physical health of community members.

As the Ministry hits the streets of impacted communities, it will serve as a roaming air quality detection unit. Day after day the smoke stacks emit pollution, depending on weather patterns those pollutants make their way across the lake or fall directly on adjacent communities. Neighborhoodspecific data on the concentration of air pollutants near these point sources would be valuable to the communitybased organizations as well as to city and state-level policy-makers.

Ministry of Clean Air history

The Ministry of Clean Air is a coalition of communitybased organizations empowering their constituents to protect themselves against the dangers of poor air quality. The Ministry was conceived in March 2011 by a team of Moving Designers after investigating the harrowing air pollution issues associated with Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coal-fired power plants. The Ministry of Clean Air model can be replicated in neighborhoods and cities across the country facing air pollution-related health impacts. The van, cart, tools, and marketing strategies should all be adapted to each new community, bringing an honest and friendly presence to the Ministry. The Ministry is motivated by hopeful, positive messaging that re-frames the conversation around air quality issues to one of pro-activity and progress. All to often residents of these impacted communities become complacent; The Ministry of Clean Air strives to empower them to protect themselves and improve their quality of life today. Clean air is a possibile.
