” I’ve lived in South London all my life and grew up in Putney/Wandsworth. I’m a happily married, father of four beautiful children, two teenagers, a three-year-old and a baby.
We don’t own a car. We walk, scoot, cycle and for longer journeys we travel by bus, tube, train and the occasional taxi.
We worry about the air our children breathe every day. I’ve told my children that they are little ninjas fighting for their future health against invisible #PollutantMonsters and that they must protect themselves by staying away from idling vehicles.
They do their best but they cannot win this battle for life on their own. ”

@TheGreenParty @Amelia_Womack Those politicians who dismiss as truancy the political campaigning of the next generation of voters may regret underestimating the children's ability to understand politics
I hate having to ask people to turn their engines off and stop idling. It never ends well.
Explaining that just because they've left a friend in the car, it's still illegal. Why? this one asked today. It's poisonous. Oh. Whatever.
@LittleNinjaUK @MumsForLungs @BreatheFreeLiv1 @aimeebreathing @carfreedayLDN @Jemima_Vivien @MayorofLondon @idlingaction @HealthyAirLDN @HealthyAirUK @ChadCeleste @BBCTomEdwards @jksmith34 @beckylewis75 @AirFairy04 @greenwandsworth Wouldn’t that be nice and easy? Must say I’m usually successful at asking drivers, politely, to turn off but there are some repeat offenders who will just refuse. Saw one actually take down a barrier to drive into school no-go zone the other day 🙄
