I.e., do you want to be wheezing up the stairs when you're in your 70s, unable to walk very far, etc; or do you want to be able to walk the dog, play with your grandkids, etc etc, way into your 90s? This is the trade off, not 'an extra 5 years'.

Rob Blackie 🔶 Mums For Lungs It’s thanks to Mums For Lungs that so much of my work on the London Assembly has been on woodburning. This is why we featured it in the manifesto. I hope we can continue our work together with a bigger team of London Liberal Democrats in City Hall.

I've joined with Breast Cancer Now to call on NICE, NHS England, AstraZenecaUK and Daiichi Sankyo UK to make the life-extending drug, Enhertu available on the NHS. Will you join me? Sign the petition #EnhertuEmergency action.breastcancernow.org/enhertu-emerge…

StoveIndustry You forgot to mention, consider your #Health & the #Health of your neighbours.
#WoodBurning is highly polluting, there is no way to burn wood cleanly & the health impacts are very serious. There are cleaner alternatives, it's the 21stC.

A lot of our work here at tEC is related to health as well as the environment. If you'd like more information about the hidden harms of wood smoke, please get in touch, we're here to help.

Same also occurs in Australia. Wood smoke is carcinogenic.Stop residential burning. Ban firepits,fireplaces,backyard burning. Protect community #health #menshealth #womenshealth #disability #environment #stroke #climate Peter Mac Cancer Centre #AFLBluesPies #cancer #disease #AirPollution

#ULEZ | London must be #DieselFree by 2030 to comply with World Health Organization (WHO) #AirQuality guidelines. Provisional data shows that concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) monitored in Outer London were significantly lower after #ULEZ expansion cleanair.london/health/diesel-… and cleanair.london/app/uploads/CA…

Carol Vorderman In many ways though I rather suspect the self-publicist might have done this on purpose knowing it would be bound to generate media interest in himself.

People seem to believe that their smoke isn't a problem because they have an approved stove, use dry wood and get their chimney swept. Letter back from neighbours today. Apparently it must be everyone else but them yet smoke clearly visible blowing our way 🤔

In 3 yrs this #solar installation at a Arkansas high school turned the district budget from a $250K deficit to a $1.8 million surplus. They're using the surplus to pay teachers more.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Some brands have invested millions in something called carbon credits

They’re intended to help cancel out their pollution

But do they do it?

Totally unacceptable that nobody from Environmental Health or Environment Agency has been out to test what families have been breathing in for 7 days now in this English village Buckinghamshire Council. If the fire service couldn't put it out, that's some nasty stuff burning.

I can confirm Bournemouth has some serious wood-burning issues it is not dealing with. Surely this should be a slam dunk for public health and climate?!
