Taking part in our clean air campaign could not be easier with these simple changes…
– Walk or cycle on short journeys.
– Cut your engine while in stationary traffic for long periods.
– Filling your car up with fuel at cooler times of the day helps avoid fuel evaporation and can help you save a little fuel each time
– Introduce house plants into your home (Peacelilies, Cornstalks, Dracaenas and Broadleafs are ideal at taking nasties out of the air and producing oxygen in return)
Other ways to get involved…
- Write to your councillor – demand an end to incineration using this link: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-councillor-to-back-an-end-to-incinerator-lock-in/
- Find a local group – There are lots of local groups (including us) playing an active role in the campaign for cleaner air. Find out about local groups near you using this link: https://friendsoftheearth.uk/take-action/join-group-near-you
Be the change you wish to see.
We can all do so much. I’d like to add that I’d love to see a widespread return to allotments – many people have access to a personal garden and for people to realise that they can dedicate a small space of their lawn or corner of a garden for this purpose – they don’t need a formal allotment site, many of us are sitting on what could easily be our own small allotment.
It’s fun, it’s rewarding (no it doesn’t ruin the look of your garden, many vegetables are rather attractive to look at!) and it rewards the planet too.
