Air Quality  

Our work focuses on those who are especially vulnerable to the effects of pollution, such as young children and those who are exposed to high levels of pollution through their work, such as ambulance and bus drivers.

Low Pollution Route Maps

As much as 60% of children’s pollution exposure comes from their journey to school and being in the playground. We have developed these low pollution route maps for schools as an incredibly simple way to reduce children’s pollution exposure on their way to and from school.

An exciting, cross-curricular learning opportunity with tangible outcomes, the project involves:

  • Pupils monitoring pollution on routes to school using personal exposure monitors
  • Pupil engagement sessions at schools, where they: learn about pollution exposure; compare pollution levels on different routes to school; suggest which roads they think are more polluted; and come up with ways to breathe in less pollution
  • Producing an illustrated map of the local area, showing which roads are less polluted, and highlighting recommended low pollution routes. The map includes drawings by the school pupils of their favourite places in the area.

Anti-idling campaign materials

Eye-catching campaign materials have been created for clients including Great Ormond Street Hospital, GLA and Mayor of London’s Idling Action campaign, and for local councils

Switching off your engine when stationary is a simple way to reduce pollution. Since 2016, we have been creating eye-catching campaign materials for clients including Great Ormond Street Hospital, GLA and Mayor of London’s Idling Action campaign, schools and for local councils across the country. Our anti-idling campaigns have featured on street signs, posters, leaflets, social media, newspapers and vehicle stickers.

    Anti-wood burning campaigns

    We have worked with councils to develop campaign materials that raise awareness about the impacts of wood burning on both the homeowner, and local air quality.

    Wood burning stoves are now known to be a big contributor to air pollution, particularly in winter months. It can damage your lungs and increase the risk of cancer and heart disease. We worked with Suffolk Council to create anti-wood burning campaign materials for residents that raise awareness about the impact on air quality of indoor wood burning, and what they can do about it. Materials were also produced for allotments about burning garden waste.

      Behaviour Change

      We run air quality engagement and behaviour change programmes for a wide range of audiences, from bus and ambulance drivers to City of London businesses.

      Our tactics for behaviour change campaign development include:

      • Surveying to understand behaviour and how it could be changed
      • Using citizen science monitoring and training on air pollution and health to raise awareness; and
      • Creating eye-catching campaign materials.
