"We Object to Dirty Air!"
"8.30am, Wednesday 30th May, Royal Courts of Justice, The Strand (map)
Client Earth took Defra to court over breaching EU air quality laws in December 2011. Defra was forced to admit that our air is illegally polluted but they weren’t forced to change their plans to improve our air quality so that we can breathe safely. If Defra are ordered by the Court to clean up their act it would make a huge difference to our quality of air and quality of life. The Court of Appeal will review the case tomorrow and we will be outside the Royal Courts of Justice to let the judge know that we object to dirty air! Join us at 8:30am, bring your colourful feather duster, marigolds, headscarf and pinny and help us clean the Court. We are especially hoping that people affected by asthma might come along and join us – if you would like any more info on this action then get in touch with us at or read more about the case he http://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news...ollution-plans "...The case concerns Defra's proposals to bring nitrogen dioxide (NO2) within legal limits by 1 January 2015, which includes plans to encourage more local councils to introduce low-emissions zones for road transport. However, the plans showed that 17 of the air quality zones, including London, would still fail to achieve compliance by 2015, meaning the UK could potentially face multimillion-pound fines from Brussels for failing to hit the target..." -- .

What about the pollution from particulate pollen that trees and grasses put out in vast clouds every spring and summer without a by-your-leave, and which causes such untold misery that there are shelves full of medications in Boots to deal with the consequences? It's a far worse problem than NO2, so why aren't your mates dealing with that? |

Turn off your gas! as I have told you before, domestic gas usage puts out more NOx than cars do (in London) Since you are too lazy to look it up, here is the link: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...-workshops.pdf I suppose you will now tell me that I have invented and created that report and somehow put it on the tfl website. |

BTW, why do you seem to be in favour of harmful air pollution from cars, instead of condemning it? Just look in Boots. Endless rows of medications to deal with hayfever, rhinitis, synovitis, conjunctivitis and allergies. Endless preparations of anti-histamines and steroids. All to combat the effects of tree and grass pollen pollution. Everyone knows loads of people with such allergies. You yourself have one, even though you try to blame it without any foundation whatever on car pollution. Now show me the equivalent medications in Boots to deal with ailments caused by car pollution. See, it's not a problem. Pollen undoubtedly is. A tree is a licence to kill. |
