On Clean Air Day (20th June 2024) we invite you and your students to explore, map and measure air quality together across the day, and then develop an action plan to improve it.

If you would like your learners to take part, please contact Mark Mason: [email protected]

I just took part in The Big Plastic Count, as we’re still producing far too much plastic. @_RobbieMoore, will you lead the way at the negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty and push for a cut in production of at least 75% by 2040?

[SAMHE Project @SAMHEProject]

Great to see all these environmentally-conscious young people @CaterhamPrep working together to investigate their school #AirQuality using the #SAMHE monitor and Web App!

The Big Plastic Count is back! We’re supporting @everydayplastic and @greenpeaceuk to run the UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste.

🧾Get counting to show that the plastics waste crisis is still with us: https://t.co/EyF5KLXySJ

[design thinking @MarkMason_dt]

For one week in March, thousands of people around the UK are counting the plastic they throw away in the UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste.

The results will pressure the UK government to tackle plastic pollution for good. Join in https://t.co/FVhIREdUpJ

My favorite search engine @ecosia dedicates 100% of its profits to the planet. We're so close to 200 million trees. Give it a try! https://t.co/WX1LVEUjtP

You may have seen claims that the information we’re sharing for #CleanAirNight is false or misleading.

Our fact-based campaign draws on independent, academically robust evidence.

Here’s a reminder of some of our key sources.

🌱✨ Let's cut the waste, not the flavor! 🍏

Small actions make a BIG impact:

🥦 Cut down on meat, opt for plant-based
🌱 Choose local & seasonal foods
♻️ Compost food scraps

Our recent Freedom of Information requests reveal: @SheffCouncil is the only local authority in the country to prosecute someone for smoke nuisance – but 467 complaints went unanswered. More action needed! #CleanAirNight #Sheffield

Wood burning is harming children's #Health.

"For those of us who work in child health, it's a particular concern because children breathe faster...they're taking in more of any pollutant that's in the air, per kilo of their body weight." #CleanAirNight
