During this week’s heat wave, volunteer Hannah attended @earthfest.bsky.social’s Future of Transport & Energy conference, and learnt from @climaterealityproject.org about the $7.4tr that was poured into fossil fuel subsidies in 2024. Can you move your money and pension? #LCAW26

At King Edward V1 Camp Hill Boys on one of Birmingham’s hottest days on record, we spoke about air pollution and children’s health. We’re not doing enough to protect children’s health - cutting car dependency and enabling walking, wheeling and cycling needs to happen now. @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

As cars get bigger & bigger they take up more space on streets & in car parks and pose an increasing safety risk to road users. 👏LTDA for raising this issue with Wimbledon & their fleet of 170+ SUVs for tennis players🎾 Wouldn't smaller safer vehicles be better? www.thetimes.com/uk/london/ar...

Fascinating session focusing on the research around our ever-bigger cars. 95% of people who wanted an SUV would still buy one, despite learning about the risks. This #Carspreading trend needs to reverse. #LCAW26 @jamesward81.bsky.social @transportenvironment.org www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Inspiring words from Maya Mailer of @ourkidsclimate.bsky.social, Cecilia Vaca Jones of Breathe Cities & @jemimavivien.bsky.social about how to change our cities. Takeaways: local change may be more possible than national. Human stories & data help to persuade. BUT politics is weaponising the convo.

Really enjoying Day 2 of the @cleancitiescampaign.org Curious Cities Assembly. Earlier we heard from @aliceferguson.bsky.social, @ianwalker.bsky.social and Tim Gill about how children are the most impacted but the least considered when it comes to our streets and public realm.

Deaths linked to #AirPollution in London have fallen by 40% since 2019 - thank you @london.gov.uk for your leadership! But 3,800-5,100 Londoners are still dying prematurely every year from our dirty air. The work is not yet done. Diesel & wood burning need to go, and we need a plan for WHO limits.

Calling all councillors - please join us and Global Action Plan at our upcoming webinar on 3rd July, to learn about #AirPollution and how you can collaborate with your communities to deliver clean air. Sign up here!

A reminder - you can join our London schools #AirPollution alert system if you'd like us to send you pre-drafted information for your school to send out on high air pollution days. www.mumsforlungs.org/news/air-pol...

‼️ High Air Pollution Alert ‼️ Increased levels of ozone and the potential for higher levels of particulate matter due to the dry conditions have triggered a high alert in London. @london.gov.uk is urging people not to idle their engines or burn garden waste. Can you also consider every drive?

Good to kick off London Climate Action Week at the Black Child #CleanAir Conference last night - covering dirty air's impact on Black maternal and child health, weak UK air quality limits, and who holds the power to make change. More to come - we're attending 11 events in the next 3 days! #LCAW26

There is a certain irony in London Climate Action Week events betting forced to cancel because of..checks notes.. climate change. Sad that we’re foiled by our own discipline, but this is the responsible action given the extreme heat forecast this week. #LCAW2026

@mumsforlungs.bsky.social Birmingham supported the council’s #CleanAirDay event this week. On our stall, children wrote to councillors with clear, urgent ideas: School Streets, safer crossings, less traffic and less smoke. Thoughtful, direct messages - a reminder of the air they breathe every day.

Our volunteers have been busy emailing their councillors for #CleanAirDay - and some have also been delivering cards in person! Here's Kirsten at @bhamcitycouncil.bsky.social's Council House this afternoon. Want to join in? Email us - [email protected].

Our brilliant volunteer Hazel has been running a stall at a #CleanAirDay event in #Southampton today, sharing clean air messages on the High Street. "Great to chat with Dr Debbie Chase, Director of Public #Health, who has been championing #CleanAir since the first Clean Air Day in 2017". 💪 💚

At the #CleanAirDay Parliamentary Reception earlier today, @metecoban92.bsky.social acknowledged the "massive task on our hands" to reduce air pollution in London. Good to hear that he and @london.gov.uk remain committed to action. #CleanAir @globalactionplan.bsky.social @cleanairfund.bsky.social

Please email your councillor about #CleanAir today, and invite them to our webinar with @globalactionplan.bsky.social on 3rd July. We've pre-drafted it. We've written a briefing to go alongside it. All you need to do is add their address and hit send. #CleanAirDay

Thank you for raising awareness on #CleanAirDay, @hinabokharild.bsky.social! If you're a councillor, please sign up to our upcoming webinar with @globalactionplan.bsky.social. 45 minutes, 12:30pm, 3rd July, how to champion #CleanAir locally. Boom. globalactionplan.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

It's #CleanAirDay, the UK's largest #AirPollution campaign, and the air millions of us breathe still isn't safe. Three things you can do today: 💚 Leave the car at home. 💚 Skip the wood burner or bonfire. 💚 Email your councillor about air pollution. Small actions - big community. Find out more 👇 .

It's #CleanAirDay! I recorded with RCP @royalcollege.bsky.social on why and how to talk about AQ with patients, because there are so many easy actions to #BreatheBetterAir. @mumsforlungs.bsky.social @greenerpractice.bsky.social @btsrespiratory.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0nrh...

It’s #CleanAirDay and I’m off to the West Mids Air Quality Implementation Plan Workshop at The Exchange on behalf of @mumsforlungs.bsky.social, via the newly reopened Moseley station. Fantastic to have rail links back, but less diesel please, West Midlands Railway! 🚆🌿 @richardparkerwm.bsky.social

There are 18 diesel vans for every electric one in the capital, and vans are now the single biggest transport source of NOx emissions in central and inner London. We're calling on the Mayor to act - starting with a zero-emission zone for freight. #AirPollution #ZeroEmissionZone

Last call for tonight's webinar! Want to know what the air on your street is actually doing to your family's health? Join us TONIGHT at 8:15pm for a free introduction to #AirPollution, with expert speaker Dr Chinthika Piyasena from Evelina London Children's Hospital, practical tips, and a Q&A.

This year's #BetterTransportWeek celebrates how better transport connects people and places. Better transport doesn't just help us get around, it helps create cleaner air for children, safer streets, and healthier communities. 💪 Find out more at @bettertransport.bsky.social or 👇.

Reducing #AirPollution improves #Health - something we've been saying for a long time. Want to see the evidence? A new study shows that London's T-charge and ULEZ led to a reduction in emergency admissions to hospitals. 💚

This Inside Story on #AirPollution from @granthamicl.bsky.social is well worth a watch. The film features our volunteer Beth, who has a young child with lung problems, speaking about the impact on her family. "I can't go to work as a doctor, because my own child is impacted by the air quality".

Here's our wonderful Birmingham campaigner @kirstendevos.bsky.social at the weekend, doing what she does best - inspiring and informing others about air pollution and what we can do about it. 💚

In addition to disturbance from noise, aviation creates air pollution which particularly affects communities under the the airport's flight paths in Newham, Greenwich, Lewisham and neighbouring boroughs. @mumsforlungs.bsky.social

Really good piece on #AirPollution in Australia, and the call for banning wood fires, phasing out diesel and rethinking the air pollution rating system. It all resonates with us and our work here. "Describing air quality as good, despite some pollution, has driven complacency."

A new study shows #AirPollution slows lung growth in childhood, with the greatest impact during adolescence, when lung growth accelerates. Reducing children's exposure at secondary schools is just as important as reducing it at primaries. #SchoolStreets

School streets are "making the road safer and less polluted for children and siblings, parents and carers," says @mumsforlungs.bsky.social's Jemima Hartshorn. @tflondon.bsky.social has announced 200 new streets, on top of 800 schemes, which restrict traffic at drop-off and pick-up times.

🔴CODE RED🔴 #AirPollution alert for UK. Widespread multi-source episode Sun 24-Fri 29 May 2026. Waves of particles and ozone with HIGH (7-9/10) in places at times.
