TIPH: Bike Rack





 My example of public health is a bike rack. These can be found outside of most buildings on the UGA campus. This is an example of public health because it is promoting healthy activities and physical fitness. It also promotes less people to drive and encourages them to ride a bike instead helping our environment. I chose this example because as a whole the United States has an obesity problem and by encourages physical activity we can helper lower the number of obese people. It is important to consider this public health because we need to decrease the amount of obese people and with not driving everywhere that will help with gas pollution.
