An idling engine also produces up to twice as many exhaust emissions as when an engine is in motion. That’s why switching off your engine every time you wait can immediately improve the air that you breathe and cut your vehicle’s pollution by up to 30%. #cleanaircolchester

[ESNEFT Sustainability @GreenerESNEFT]

Today is Clean Air Day. Did you know that if you sit in your stationary car with the engine running then you, and any other passengers in the vehicle, will be breathing in air which is up to seven times more polluted than the air outside the car.

We are currently re-wilding 5 areas across our Ipswich Hospital site, including our very own Meadow and Wildflower Garden 🌼

Rewilding can help combat climate change, restore lost species, repair degraded land and make habitats more resilient to extreme weather 💚

Our team are talking all things Sustainability at the Nursing and Midwifery Conference.

Nurses and midwives have a unique role to play in supporting the NHS’ net zero goal. So come and get involved!💚
