Inquiry closes tomorrow! Final call for submissions of evidence to the @commonseac.parliament.uk #AirPollution inquiry.

MPs are exploring air pollution’s impact on #Health and the #Environment, and whether the current air quality targets are strong enough.

Yellow background with a pink Clean Air Crowd logo. The text says "Day 4 - have a conversation with a friend or someone you wouldn't normally talk to about air pollution".

Day 4, and we’re over halfway!

Today’s challenge: we're asking our #CleanAirCrowd to start a conversation about #AirPollution. It could be with a friend, neighbour, colleague, boss, parent at the school gate…

A simple chat today could build support for clean air tomorrow.

Who will you talk to?

Thanks so much @netwench.bsky.social - it's great to see our flyers being shared like this. Thank you for helping to spread the word about the need for more action on #AirPollution. #CleanAirCrowd

Emails suggest German carmakers shifted timeline of Europe’s diesel cartel - Türkiye Today Emails filed in the London High Court case show executives debating limits on urea dosing while preparing to justify decisions to regulators in the US and Europe

Meanwhile, internal emails appear to show Germany’s largest carmakers may have coordinated diesel emissions strategies earlier than previously assumed.

We understand these emails are only publicly available because of our third party intervention with @clientearth.bsky.social last year.

'Dieselgate2' trial resumes as 1.6m drivers face-off against car maker A verdict is expected in the summer, with a secondary trial if car makers are found guilty to determine the level of compensation to be paid out.

Yesterday, the #Dieselgate trial reconvened in the High Court. Closing submissions will be made over the next three weeks, with a verdict in the Summer.

We're still breathing excess diesel emissions today because of this scandal - we need these vehicles off our roads. #AirPollution #Health

Metal sign on a lamppost which says SWITCH OFF YOUR ENGINE OFF. Vehicle exhausts are toxic. You could be fined £110. There is an illustration of a van's tailpipe with fumes coming from it, and the City of Westminster logo.

Don't make me tap the sign, from The Simpsons

Drivers, don't make me tap the sign.

Our excellent team have now installed around 800 of these signs at engine idling hot spots and outside schools around the City of Westminster.

The intense #SaharanDust plume over the North Atlantic is predicted to reach western Europe in the coming days in the #CopernicusAtmosphere forecast. These episodes are not uncommon at this time of the year, particularly impacting air quality and visibility in Canary Islands and Madeira.

Lambeth to install a School Street for every eligible primary school by 2027 - Love Lambeth Lambeth is expanding its School Streets programme to all eligible primary schools by 2027

Brilliant to see that every feasible primary school in #Lambeth will have a School Street by 2027. Thank you @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social for your strong leadership, and for putting children's #Health and safety first. 💥 💚 😍

If you don't know we've moved from Hackney with a slow but full programme of school street implementation to Cambridge where school streets are 'volunteer patrolled' in the few places they exist.
Cambridge schools need ANPR-protected school streets so all kids can safely walk & cycle.

Can you choose click-and-collect or swap a car journey today?

That's the Day 2 challenge for our #CleanAirCrowd.

There are now 1 million more vans on UK roads than in 2014, and 25% of car trips are under a mile. Click-and-collect and rethinking car journeys are simple ways to cut #AirPollution.

A child wearing a breathing mask holds up a sign saying "Diesel makes kids sick".

Dieselgate should be history by now, yet it's an ongoing health scandal.

Between 2009 & 2024 excess diesel emissions caused a staggering:
🚗 16,000 premature deaths, &
🚗 30,000 cases of asthma in children.
