Want a School Street but don't know where to start? We have the solution! We've updated our #SchoolStreets campaigning guides, including the answers to the most common questions we're asked about this simple but powerful scheme. Take a look here, and get in touch for advice or support. 👇

We were delighted to attend the @livingstreets.bsky.social #WalkingSummit. Walking & wheeling cut #AirPollution, but we need our streets to feel safe enough for everyone to be able to make the most of those options. Good to see new guidance landing on safer streets for women & girls yesterday.

We're excited to be part of the #Southwark transport hustings ahead of the local elections. Join us, @southwarkls.bsky.social, @solveschoolrun.bsky.social, @farefreelondon.bsky.social and Southwark Cyclists on 9th April to hear from local candidates about their vision for travel in Southwark.

Clean Cities' new research has found that car club parking tariffs in many London boroughs exceed the cost of private car permits. This should be the other way around - people need affordable, convenient alternatives if they're to move away from the private car. #AirPollution #ZeroEmission

In the run-up to the last local elections, we campaigned across London and Greater Manchester for more #SchoolStreets to be implemented. We're so pleased to see Ealing Council deliver on its promise to roll out 50 School Streets by 2027 - a whole year early. 💥 🎉

Thank you to all who gave evidence at the 1st session of the @commonseac.parliament.uk's #AirPollution inquiry. MPs are investigating the #Health impact of air pollution, & considering the policies needed to tackle it. @impurbanhealth.bsky.social @globalactionplan.bsky.social @green-alliance.org.uk

The 2025 IQAir World Air Quality Report Only 13 countries met WHO air quality guidelines in 2025, as wildfires and industrial pollution worsened conditions globally, with Central and South Asia remaining the most affected regions. airqualitynews.com/headlines/th...

Western car manufacturers are making a “profound strategic mistake” as they pull back from EVs just as oil prices are soaring once again. Prioritising short-term profits selling petrol cars is not a valid business view if you still want to be in the car market in 2035. bit.ly/4bGj00t

Thank you @sianberry.bsky.social for pushing on this. In opposition, the Labour Party promised us a #CleanAir Act to protect children’s health. Breathing clean air should be a human right. #EllasLaw

Congratulations to @profpkumar.bsky.social on your appointment to the #AirQuality Expert Group. Great news!

Europe's poorer regions face higher risk of death from air pollution A new study has found that people living in Europe’s most deprived regions are significantly more likely to die from the effects of air pollution. airqualitynews.com/headlines/eu...

#CodeRed #AirPollution alert for the UK - Major multi-source episode underway! Official DEFRA forecast: Moderate on Thurs-Sat (19-21 March). Waves likely continue Thurs-Mon with some High (7-8/10) levels possible on Sat. Check live: uk-air.defra.gov.uk/forecasting/ #SaharanDust #UKAir

This is good news - there are only three #SchoolStreets in #Harrow at the moment. We hope to see more being implemented with this funding. #AirPollution #ActiveTravel

A new report by Breathe Cities highlights that coordinated, data-driven action has led to rapid reductions in #AirPollution across the world. Targeted policy and sustained leadership are key. #ULEZ #London

Wood burning produces 20% of the UK's most dangerous air pollution - comparable to road transport. Yet only 1% of households rely on it as their main heating. Today we submitted our response to Defra's consultation. heyzine.com/flip-book/41... 🧵

Join us next Tuesday, 17th March at 8:15 PM on Zoom for our March volunteer meeting! We'll share updates on our campaigns - including wood burning, the #LocalElections, the #Dieselgate trial and the #CleanAirCrowd - and explore ways you can get involved. Register your spot at the link. 💚

The #CleanAir paradox - an interesting read on how reducing NOx emissions can increase the amount of ammonia being deposited into oceans. #AirPollution

Take a look at some of our favourite moments from the #CleanAirCrowd! Last week, we brought together people from all over the UK to take seven simple actions that raise awareness of #AirPollution. From rethinking their short car trips to having conversations at the school gate, they smashed it! 💚

In East London children’s lung growth improved after pollution fell, and in Bradford GP visits dropped 30% and A&E admissions 50% for heart and breathing crises. Cleaner air saves lives. A reminder why work started in Brum under Cllr Zaffar matters. www.birminghammail.co.uk/motoring/mot...

Want to know what's coming up? Join us online next Tuesday at 8:15pm for our March meeting. We'll be having a catch-up on all our campaigns, including the Clean Air Crowd, #Dieselgate, #WoodBurning and local elections. Come along to find out ways you can get involved! Tuesday 17th March, 8:15pm.

Today is #NoSmokingDay. Did you know that wood smoke contains many of the same harmful pollutants and chemicals as cigarette smoke? Research has linked higher wood stove and fireplace use with a 70% higher incidence of lung cancer. Can you keep your fire or stove unlit today? #NSD26

Breathing clean air should be a human right. Air pollution is linked to 700+ illnesses, and the UK is still Western Europe’s hotspot for childhood asthma. In opposition, the Labour Party promised us a #CleanAir Act to protect children’s health. We urge them to deliver on this promise. #EllasLaw

Can the UK feasibly reach WHO’s air quality targets? Join Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP UK)'s event, where they’ll be discussing opportunities and barriers to clean air in the UK https://ieep.uk/news/event-air-quality-can-the-uk-feasibly-reach-who-targets-a-devolved-perspective/

HAC colleagues @transportenvironment.org in partnership with @evaengland.org.uk have launched a report on expanding access to EVs for lower income households. It calls for social leasing to cut costs, reduce emissions + ensure the shift to clean mobility is fair for everyone. 🔗https://bit.ly/4rjou6Q

Feeling very grateful to all the Mums for Lungs legends across the country. Thank you for giving us your time, your care and your power. The official UN theme for International Women's Day this year is "Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls". Bring it on. Happy #InternationalWomensDay!

We're pleased to be featured in this Commons Library research briefing on #WoodBurning. The briefing sets out the #Health effects of burning, the issues local authorities have enforcing Smoke Control Areas, and the proposals in the current consultation to reduce emissions from burning.

#SaharanDust (Sat 7 Mar) | #BloodRain brought relief from HIGH #AirPollution Fri pm (& aves ⬇️). HIGH #AirPollution due Sun-Mon for many. #Marathon #Runners and organisers might consider our 10 point #PollutionProtocol. Where is @emmahardymp.bsky.social's health advice👀? cc @commonseac.parliament.uk

“Protecting people from air pollution is not only possible – it is required. #CleanAir is a fundamental human right, not a privilege.” @srenvironment.bsky.social’s report is now published, and it highlights priority actions that would protect public #Health and the right to a healthy environment.

Bit late to posting day 4. It's not always easy to talk about, but yesterday I had a conversation with another parent about wood burning, air pollution, asthma rates, cargo bikes, most journeys under 5km, car clubs, school streets, idling & dangerous driver behaviour... Lots to discuss & worth it!

Ella’s Law has been published 👏 No child should have the growth of their lungs stunted because of dirty air where they live and play, yet this is the reality of air pollution in England. Ella’s Law would change this. My thanks to Rosamund and all the hard-working campaigners demanding change.

A reminder that if you’re in London, you can sign up for our school #AirPollution alerts system. Whenever @london.gov.uk issues a high pollution alert for London, we send out emails to pass on to your child's school - with a pre-drafted message that can be sent out to parents. bit.ly/pollutionalert

Air pollution in London and the Southeast is extremely high right now which can harm kids and those with respiratory conditions such as asthma. Staying away from big roads that are extra polluted already (and ideally avoid adding more car or burning pollution). uk-air.defra.gov.uk/forecasting/

It was great to be here with you yesterday @sianberry.bsky.social, @ellarobertafdn.bsky.social, @healthyairuk.bsky.social (and everyone else!). We need #CleanAir far higher up the government’s agenda. We are so glad to see this published. #EllasLaw

Day 7 - we made it! 🎉 This week has resulted in some brilliant local awareness-raising about #AirPollution by our #CleanAirCrowd. Every conversation had, flyer distributed, social media post and message shared and sticker put up helps grow the movement for clean air. 🎉 It's flown by!

⚠️ Important London air pollution update for Friday 6 March. ⚠️ I’ve triggered a high pollution alert due to a forecast of particulate levels mainly caused by Saharan dust. ⚠️ Protect the most vulnerable by avoiding unnecessary car trips, engine idling and burning garden waste.

Have you noticed the Saharan dust? It's not just about a coating on your car, or pretty colours in the sunset. It's about tiny particles in the air affecting our #Health. The UK's #AirPollution grading system plays it down - "moderate" levels mean we're breathing in a LOT of pollution.

It's Day 6 and we’ve loved seeing the energy from our #CleanAirCrowd this week! 🙌 Today’s challenge is simple: put our #CleanAir sticker in your window. It’s a small action, but a visible sign that you care about #AirPollution and protecting children’s health. Awareness is how change begins.💥

"Straight from the playbook of tobacco". The Stove Industry Association has been pressuring councils to tone down their public health campaigns, telling them they were exploring options for potential legal action. This stinks even more than the burning they promote. #WoodBurning #AirPollution

"Low smoke doesn't mean low risk: all solid fuels found to emit ultrafine particles". New research has found that using “low-smoke” fuels results in a two to three-fold increase in ultrafine particle emissions. #WoodBurning #AirPollution
