Clean Air Night is tonight!
The first-ever Clean Air Night is taking place tonight, to shine a light on the uncomfortable truth about wood burning.
Did you know that lighting fires in our homes is the largest source of harmful small particle air pollution in the UK?
This type of air pollution can cause life-threatening illnesses, including heart and lung disease, making it crucial that we raise awareness about this growing issue.
Wood burning not only harms your health, but also your wallet and the planet. Pressures on household finances or desires to be more eco-friendly may tempt people to burn wood, but research shows that wood burning produces more CO2 than oil or gas and is almost always more expensive than other forms of heating.
If you didn’t know this, you’re not alone, as most people in the UK are unaware that it is a major source of air pollution.
Please take part tonight (if this applies to you) and share the information with friends and family.
