Today is National Clean Air Day and here in Staffordshire we are doing our bit to try and help make the air you breathe cleaner and healthier.
Could you give YOUR car the day off?
Did you know:
- 1/3 of ALL car journeys in Staffordshire are less than 2 miles, they could easily be substituted by sustainable travel
- idling cars pump out about 150 balloons worth of harmful gas every minute!
- poor air quality is responsible for 500 deaths in Staffordshire every year
- that idling is the single biggest contributor to poor air pollution outside schools
- 30% of all asthma cases in children are down to air pollution
