Oh to be able to let them muck about on the street outside your house with intermittent supervision... 🥲 What used to be normal is now impossible. 🛻 Cities are designed for cars, not for kids playing erratically by a road. 📱Feels safer to know where they are, even if that's glued to a screen.

New research highlights the huge health and economic value of cleaner air as a result of the UK’s planned net zero policies. In London, this could mean over 9 million working days gained and more than 44,000 avoided premature deaths. bit.ly/4gRIQ5A @cleanairfund.bsky.social

Net zero measures will deliver cleaner air that could provide £7.7 billion boost to UK economy by 2050 - Clean Air Fund

Decarbonisation across transport, buildings, industry and power generation will bring air quality gains and an economic boost to the UK.
