Day 4, and we’re over halfway! Today’s challenge: we're asking our #CleanAirCrowd to start a conversation about #AirPollution. It could be with a friend, neighbour, colleague, boss, parent at the school gate… A simple chat today could build support for clean air tomorrow. Who will you talk to?
Yellow background with a pink Clean Air Crowd logo. The text says "Day 4 - have a conversation with a friend or someone you wouldn't normally talk to about air pollution".

🚨 BREAKING: Political opposition to the UK’s biggest undeveloped oil field is broad, and it is growing. Over 60 cross-party MPs and MSPs have now signed our pledge to oppose the Rosebank oil field and support a just transition. Is your MP/MSP one of them?

New study from Uni of Birmingham shows the ULEZ reduced #AirPollution across London, but more needs to be done to reduce pollution further - especially from PM2.5. "As a result, we need to see a modal shift to more active travel and public transport to reduce the number of vehicles on the road".
