What a day! The Epic #Stem Challenge was truly EPIC.

➡️ 22 Year 9 students,
➡️ 4 #Lambeth/#Southwark schools,
➡️ #AirPollution monitors built/coded,
➡️ A ream of data analysed.
Culminating in some brilliant solutions to air pollution! We couldn’t have done it without…

Thanks so much @DrJonathanGrigg for taking the time to talk to us about #EnvironmentalJustice, the effects of #AirPollution on health, diesel cars, SUVs and ULEZ, and the need for a new national air quality policy. https://t.co/7ugbEPhQ1j

Loving this positive campaign from @London_Cycling. More than a million cycle journeys are made every day in London. As Paris shows, we can do even more if we try. #LondonLovesCycling #LondonMayor

“You can’t get rid of 12,000 cars!” claimed critics when in 2017, Eindhoven proposed the revolutionary transformation of Oirschotsedijk.

A former arterial road dissecting Philips de Jonghpark is now an accessible and delightful green space, reconnected by a 5.5 meter cycle path.

[Healthy Air London @HealthyAirLDN]

The next Mayor of London should act with ambition to clear the air we breathe of toxic pollution and realise the benefits of clean air for our health, the NHS, and the economy 🙏 💚.

Help us share our three key pledges we want candidates to sign up to... 🧵1/7👇

London needs to meet the latest WHO #AirPollution guidelines because little lungs need protection. 

@ZoeGarbett @SadiqKhan @robblackie & @Councillorsuzie: please commit to being a #Mayor4CleanAir at the #LondonMayoralElection.

Thanks @MumsForLungs for initiating the campaign.

[Mums For Lungs @MumsForLungs]

#AirQuality around new schools approved and proposed to open in England has been found to be “alarmingly poor”.

“Children deserve protection from avoidable harm while at school.”

[Friends of Limehouse @greenaslime]

We're calling for a #Mayor4CleanAir with @MumsForLungs & a coalition of London groups.

London needs:
💚 To meet WHO #AirPollution guideline limits
💚 #SchoolSuperzones
💚 A clear website with all pollution data in one place #LondonMayoralElection

Join us on Saturday 16th March at 10-11.30 am for a coffee and a walk around Ropemakers Fields to talk about the air we breathe, share the insights from a portable air pollution monitor and come up with a plan to improve air quality together.
