Environment Bill

Air pollution is an invisible but dangerous threat to children’s health. Toxic emissions can damage children’s growth and leave them with lasting health problems.

“Having left the EU, the UK will now be responsible for setting and enforcing its own air quality targets from 2021 and the Government currently has no plans to set targets until 2022.  In order to change this, the team at Global Action Plan needs your help to put pressure on all MP's to vote for Amendment 2 and New Clause 6 to the Environment Bill. This will set legally binding World Health Organisation air quality limits and a requirement that the Government reports each year on how it is improving air quality”. (Global Action Plan)

Please everyone write to your local MPs. I have written to mine about what they are doing about this for our local areas and what they are voting for in Parliament. I will be contacting them again about what they will be doing about the air quality around our schools. I also will be asking my headteacher to look at the clean air schools framework and how we can incorporate this into our school. 

Get writing everyone we can all make a change!
