WHAT CAN WE DO?

STOP IDLING!

Walking

Scooting

Cycling

Scoot, Walk and Cycle to School

  • Being active keeps you fit
  • Keeps you healthy

"One in three car trips made by Londoner's could be walked in under 25 minutes" - TfL

Anti-idling

Idling is when you leave a car's engine running.

There are lots of cars outside school at the start and end of the day

To reduce pollution, we need the drivers to switch off their engines when stopped.

Greening

Trees and other plants trap bad gases in our air

Plants block air pollution in the wind

Greening

We need green walls and green roofs
