Clean Air Day 2020 is taking place on Thursday 8th October.
On 8 October, Clean Air Day will see schools, hospitals, workplaces and communities across the UK run activities and take action to inspire people to take simple steps to protect their health, and their families’ health, from air pollution.
We all have a part to play in keeping our air clean - together let’s make Oct 8 the cleanest Clean Air Day yet. During the COVID-19 lockdown we experienced cleaner air and saw massive shifts to low pollution behaviours. Let’s keep up the momentum and keep our air clean.
Everybody can have a positive impact on air quality and we would like to inspire
people to understand what they can do to reduce air pollution and limit its impact on their health and that of others.
Air pollution affects your health from your first breath to your last, as the damage to our health can start when we’re a baby and carry on through into old age.
The good news is that our air pollution crisis is solvable and there are simple steps we can all take to help our family avoid toxic air and cut down on the pollution we emit – it's good for us and good for the planet too.
8 October is a day of practical action and awareness-raising, so we can all breathe cleaner air. Clean Air Day gives every school, hospital, workplace and housing estate free access to cutting-edge advice on avoiding and tackling urban air pollution, approved by health experts and academics.
All the information on how to get involved in Clean Air Day is available from the Clean Air Day website www.cleanairday.org.uk
We aim to run our own activities as well as encourage others to organise events and activities. These will be advertised on our social media and website nearer the time so please keep a look out for details very soon.
