We invited our friends and families to a ‘Clean Air Picnic’
in Jubilee Square on Sunday, to show support for action on air pollution in Leicester.
Thursday 20th June is national Clean Air Day, which aims to give
people the opportunity to find out more about air pollution and ‘help make the
air cleaner and healthier for everyone’. Air pollution in Leicester is above
legal limits and is known to be damaging people’s health. We recently launched an updated
version of our Healthy
Air Manifesto, with a list of changes that we want to see to tackle the
problem.
When we had finished our picnic, we gave out copies of the Manifesto and leaflets about air pollution to passersby. We also had an activity for children, who helped to make clean air bunting that we will use at future events.
