Clean air awareness campaign

Tabled by Mr Angus MacDonald (Liberal Democrat) 8 signatures

The motion

That this House welcomes the efforts of Highland pupils taking part in this year’s Clean Air Day campaign, the UK’s largest air pollution awareness initiative; notes that Highland Council’s Environmental Health Team is supporting local schools to highlight the dangers of engine idling during school drop-off and pick-up times, a key cause of short-term spikes in air pollution; commends schools such as Lochardil Primary for leading anti-idling campaigns and promoting cleaner, less polluting behaviours; recognises the particular vulnerability of children to the health impacts of poor air quality; and congratulates young people for taking climate-positive action, helping to build healthier communities across the Highlands.
