We frequently overlook the #airpollution problems caused by wood burning in rural villages, and the #climate harm too.
To plug this gap, a team of scientists moved into a Slovenian village for winter. Here's what they found.

We’re delighted to support this important work by @_wearepossible!
London’s food delivery drivers cover hundreds of kilometres every year. There’s a huge opportunity to shift to low pollution vehicles...🧵👇
Possible@_wearepossible
Did you know that 60% of couriers and delivery riders feel unsafe on the roads while working? That’s why IWGB & Possible are calling for protected bike routes, fair pay, and support to switch to e-bikes. It’s time to put both people and planet first. 🌍 wearepossible.org/hotwheels

An 11-year study of more than 1 million people in California (Kaiser Permanente) found rates of dementia rose significantly among residents who had been exposed to wildfire smoke.
What we burn, we breathe.

The EU has just published major new air quality standards aligned with @WHO guidelines. Amazing to see this ambition and it means low / zero-emission transport will be more necessary than ever in polluted European cities.
Big Q, will the UK align? 👀

The rollout of universal primary FSM in London gave a unique chance to understand the impact of extended provision, and the experiences of children, families, and schools.
Delighted our independent report has found positive impacts on health, finances, and school communities.

With @imperialcollege, we've created a course so people can learn about the health effects of air pollution.
You'll learn about why air pollution is a social justice issue, about sources of air pollution, and most equitable ways to improve air quality:

Zero emission freight can only be achieved in cities by switching diesel to electric vans and also e-cargo bikes, which could replace up to 9% of van kilometres driven in central London by 2025 and up to 17% of van kilometres by 2030. Great to spot @firstmile playing their part!

🚸 Clean air means better health for children.
That’s why we’re supporting the @EllaRobertaFdn to campaign on the health effects of air pollution, with a particular aim to protect children from poor air quality.

'For teachers, clerical workers, sales reps and the great bulk of US employees, whether white or blue collar, wages have flatlined – not for four or even 20 years – but for most of the past half century.'
