Back home, with a package of drugs to keep me on the road 💊 Asked 2 workmen idling their van outside my house to stop - explained how sick I’d been this week 🫁 Totally unmoved, said they needed air con - only turned off when I begged 🙏 How did we get here? 😢
Charlotte Baker@charlie_baker2322 Aug 2023
Sadly this escalated…🏥 This is *not* just a ‘cough’ - it’s terrifying & exhausting, fighting for your breath & taking a cocktail of strong drugs w/ side effects 🫁 There are 1000s like me, with poor air quality a major trigger. It doesn’t have to be like this 😩

When we look at health & #airpollution data it is easy to forget that the numbers are real people. Congratulations Allegheny County Clean Air Now (@aghcocan) for giving voice to people affected by #airpollution, every day. See my summary & link in: theguardian.com/environment/…

US coal plant closure emphasises health benefits of cleaner air

Decrease in hospital visits for heart problems shows impact could be greater than previously thought

This is a big deal: "During Covid, our industry adapted in ways we could not have imagined. We can and will change again to tackle the climate emergency." The 'green rider' includes choosing trains over planes. Really good work @EquityUK 👏 bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…

Bella Ramsey and Ben Whishaw sign up to Green Rider sustainability pledge

More than 100 actors agree to take fewer private jets and more trains, among other green initiatives.

The government is serious about tackling climate change, it should introduce a domestic flight reduction target, reverse the cut in APD, and indeed introduce a tax on fuel used on domestic non-lifeline journeys. Could you read our latest blog 👇 bettertransport.org.uk/blog/…

Flights of fancy are fanning the flames

There is no doubt that man-made climate change is pouring petrol on the flames. Or is it kerosene? For there is also no doubt that emissions from aviation are a significant factor and increasing...

Meanwhile, in England the UKGov urges local highway authorities to set 20mph limits where they consider the national 30mph limit is wrong. So far 61 out of 153 have said 20's Plenty for most urban/village rds. When will UKGov recognise the problem is their national 30 limit?

Here is an excellent example of how a Member of Senedd in Wales was able to successfully campaign for part of a main road not to be excluded from the national default 20mph limit. Well done Janet Finch-Saunders! janetfinchsaunders.org.uk/ne…

See why 20mph as a default urban/village limit is a "fantastic idea". walesonline.co.uk/news/news-…

'Why the 20mph speed limit plan for Wales is a fantastic idea'

Some people are dead against it but overall it makes a lot of sense
