How to tackle the extreme #AirPollution caused by solid fuel burning.
Some aspects, such as the use of peat are a fairly specific Irish issue but this thread is relevant in villages, twins and cities across Europe.
Many people asked what could be done about the extreme #airpollution in #Ireland over the weekend. Was there any alternative to #solidfuels, esp. as the fire is such an ingrained habit? And is it worth making a fuss about a little bit of air pollution?
Let’s explore…

My interview for @bbcworldservice on the 70th anniversary of London's great smog that led to the deaths of around 12,000 people.
They have no memorial.
Here I talk to Marnie Chesterton (@amsterdammed) about my dad's experience of the smog as a young Londoner.
#OnThisDay For a week at the beginning of December 1952, London was under a blanket of deadly smog.
Hear from @DrGaryFuller on this historic #AirPollution event and the key areas for concern today >> bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001fmt…

How green are newly planted urban trees?
Study of 30cm girth trees planted in Sweden shows on average it takes 16 years to absorb carbon emissions (mostly fuel) used in cultivation, delivery & planting
Strengthens the case for retaining existing trees

"it is ultimately up to the individual come to their own conclusions about stove ownership and usage"
No, I don't think so because home heating with solid fue places health burdens of so many other people.

Cautiously welcome this but will it go far enough? 🤔The UK's most famous shopping street is plagued with gridlocked traffic, toxic air and run down units, yet representing 5% of London's GDP...it's time for bold ideas! 🙏
Plans announced by Westminster City Council will change the layout of Oxford Street to widen pavements, improve street lighting and create more green spaces.
