Air Pollution

Air Pollution is disgusting, dangerous and deadly. 40,000 lives were cut short by air pollution in the U.K. 10,000 of those deaths occurred in London alone. Whilst children, the elderly and sick and vulnerable people breathe in toxic air, politicians who have the power to change things are simply hiding their heads in the smog.
