Background
The UK Clean Air Day is a coordinated effort by Global Action Plan who work together with over 200 organizations including local authorities, NHS trusts, health charities, colleges, universities, and even the UK government.
The day itself brings everyone together to learn more about air pollution and what causes it; how it affects health; and what we can do to reduce air pollution. It encourages people to do something different to reduce air pollution even if it’s just one thing one day out of the year.
It’s up to individuals to make the right choices and have their voices heard to tackle air pollution. We can all do something about it; from driving less, to using energy-efficient electric cars, to reducing fuel use at home. If we all take one or two steps to cleaner air, it’s amazing what a difference it could make.
