Huge thanks to our volunteers for putting up these posters to help shine a light on the uncomfortable facts about #WoodBurning. Here's a selection from London, Sheffield and Manchester. Can you think twice about burning? #CleanAirNight

Open fires and wood-burning stoves have risen in popularity over recent years. Smoke from burning causes air pollution which harms the health of millions. We can work together to improve the quality of the air we breathe. woodburning.london #cleanair #woodburning #airpollution

We’ve been urging the government to commit to stronger targets for years, so we're pleased that the government has finally listened. The devil is in the detail. #AirPollution is largely below these levels already across the country and is still making hundreds of thousands of people sick.

👏 Clean air action is happening everywhere — in courts ⚖️ and classrooms 🏫! On Monday, some of us were outside the Royal Courts of Justice for the #Dieselgate hearing with Mums for Lungs, while others led a clean air assembly at a local school.

On #CleanAirDay I joined 100+ healthcare workers, patients & campaigners to highlight the serious harm air pollution causes to our health & planet. Clean air is a right—not a luxury. We need urgent action now.

EU Member States have highlighted their commitment to protecting children’s health by adopting new binding #AirPollution targets. When will our Labour government afford the same #Health protections to our children @emmahardymp.bsky.social?

“One of the most powerful forms of #Climate communication is just telling people that a majority of other people think climate change is happening, human-caused, a serious problem and a priority for action.” This #EarthDay, can you have one conversation with friends, family & neighbours about this?

Activate climate’s ‘silent majority’ to supercharge action, experts say

Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

Sir Keir is forgetting the true cost of owning a vehicle.   There is a societal cost as well as financial: 👉 Collisions - injuries, fatalities, economic losses, policing 👉 #AirPollution - negative impact on #Health & environment 👉 Environmental impact - emissions contribute to #Climate change

A thread on the poor state of Defra’s #AirQuality Index, which tells the public about #AirPollution levels & provides recommendations & health advice. Spoiler: we’re being falsely reassured, undermining the calls for action to address the #Health effects of air pollution. 👇👇👇

Totally behind cleaning up the waterways but you make it sound like the air is sorted, @london.gov.uk. With a high #AirPollution episode earlier this week in London, it’s not job done by any means! #Diesel #WoodBurning
