Simple projects to help pupils breathe cleaner air now
Every day children across the majority of the UK are being exposed to pollution that causes irreversible damage to their lungs.
A recent study by Kings College London, shows that some of these children already have their lung capacity reduced by as much as 10%.
Every day that we wait for government solutions is another day wasted with permanent harm being done.
We can’t wait any longer, we have to take matters into own our hands and act now.
That’s why we have developed six free-of-charge cleaner air programmes designed to quickly improve the air quality in and around schools. Children spend much of their day and undertake a lot of physical activity at school so it’s imperative our focus is there.
These projects involve pupils, teachers and parents delivering pupil-led projects and adopting small changes that will make a big difference and help them to breathe ‘Cleaner Air Sooner’.

GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE
As much as 60% of children’s daily pollution exposure comes from the playground and commute to school.
So tackling playground pollution - particularly if your playground fronts a busy road - is one of the ways schools can protect pupils from high levels of exposure.
