The Air Team

We are mums, dads and children who don't like air pollution and want a clean air future for the UK.

We’re action-led, positive and open. Join the team!

Government advice to exercise outdoors is threatened by dangerous levels of air pollution. We've updated the #BreatheGB report calling for clear air to fight COVID-19: https://t.co/PuGwPvIjiD

[Islington Clean Air Parents @air_parents]

Alarming news - 30% increase in children admitted to the Whittington Hospital for respiratory illnesses in the last year.

Air pollution triggers asthma and is proven to worsen respiratory illnesses. Time to take urgent action.

We would be really grateful if you could take 2 minutes to read some info about the ULEZ consultation (here: https://t.co/YR9Wk0CqEH) and then respond to the consultation. https://t.co/m09f96urzD Why are we saying this? 1/9

It would be a travesty to reverse the improvements on Old Bethnal Green Rd, home to multiple schools and nurseries that benefit from the cleaner air and safer space.

Please do object to the plans if you live in, work in, or love Tower Hamlets:

Help save the pedestrian improvements at Old Bethnal Green Rd (among others).

This video shows what we stand to lose if the council bring through-traffic back.

Today is the last day of the @DefraGovUK consultation on long term targets for the #Environment, including #AirPollution. The proposals are not good enough.

Please respond NOW & share widely. We need stronger air pollution targets. We need #CleanAirNow.

[The Air Team @AirTeamUK]

We are at a crucial point for #CleanAir - we need far more ambition in the government's environmental targets consultation. Please respond today, asking for stronger targets. Current proposals will fail another generation of children's lungs. #CleanAirNow

“You need to try & imagine that this time next year, in London between eight & 12 children would have died from asthma." Proposed Government #AirPollution targets will fail this generation of children. We need #CleanAirNow. @Jochurchill_MP @sajidjavid

[The Air Team @AirTeamUK]

This @cleanairfund @imperialcollege report shows that with planned & anticipated policies we can get to the
@WHO #AirPollution target of 10ug/m3 by 2030. This will save thousands of lives. #CleanAirNow @Jochurchill_MP @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak.

[The Air Team @AirTeamUK]

Every two minutes in the U.K. a baby is born in an area with dangerously polluted air. Why isn't Government committing to stronger targets in the #EnvironmentAct? We need #CleanAirNow. We can't wait another 18 years for outdated @WHO targets.

[The Air Team @AirTeamUK]

This is so important and takes only seconds. Respond to the government consultation on air pollution limits. They are far too lax at the moment given we now know there is no safe level of pollution.
If you do one thing today...do this! https://t.co/52ug2Fksqg

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

If you do one thing today, please respond to the government's #AirPollution target setting consultation. The level of ambition falls far short of where it needs to be. We can get there sooner - please spread the word. Deadline 11th May. #CleanAirNow

If you want a fresh air future and clean air for our kids to breathe Don’t forget to join this event run by the amzing @MumsForLungs tomorrow night. Lets get the government to commit to ambitious air quality targets.

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

We are facing a crucial moment for #CleanAir. The government consultation on #AirPollution targets is live until 11th May, & in its current form it is woefully unambitious. We need all hands on deck - join us next week to find out more, and how to respond.

Cycling instructors have written an open letter signed by 400+ to @MayorofLondon @willnorman @SebDance @grantshapps @mragilligan, urging not to axe in-person cycle training.

Pleased to have been at the launch of the @LondonAssembly #Environment Committee’s "Clean Air for all Londoners" report. What a day for it - this was the view as we travelled there. Stronger action on #AirPollution cannot come soon enough. https://t.co/DJxZ6zjSRA

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

"The government has failed the whole nation & betrayed my daughter’s memory".

100% agree with @EllaRobertaFdn. Utterly outrageous that @DefraGovUK should aim for 2005 @WHO limits to be achieved by 2040, when those 2005 limits were superseded last year.

Anyone who has an open #fire, #woodburner or #firepit or lives near people who do. It’s well worth joining this to find out why burning stuff is bad for the climate & truly awful for your health. #airpollution #cleanair #IPCC #ClimateCrisis

[The Air Team @AirTeamUK]

Great opportunity to remind the government to set stringent air pollution limits into law in 2022 and wish them all a happy Christmas too...

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

Day 18: Christmas email campaign.
Fancy getting involved in our latest campaign? It takes two seconds and one click to send the Government a #Christmas email, asking them to make 2022 count for clean air. Who’s in? Head here: https://t.co/39htSelcUr

Thank you @Telegraph and @JesSalter for this strong piece highlighting the dangers of #WoodBurning. We hope many will read this and think twice. "Even those with #Ecodesign Ready models should rip them out".
