Air Pollution is Heartbreaking

Our new air quality campaign hits the streets of Southampton this week to highlight the damaging impacts of air pollution on children.

They will appear near schools and playgrounds across the city on Thursday… Read More Air Pollution is Heartbreaking

Trusting in the power of our communities to make change

A year is a long time in environmental politics. Last summer, an unknown school girl was striking outside the Swedish Parliament, frustrated by a lack of action on climate change. Back then no-one would have dared to believe that Greta Thunberg would one day be on the cover of Time magazine or nominated for the… Read More Trusting in the power of our communities to make change

Southampton’s very own Ordnance Survey has OS Greenspace, a comprehensive catalogue of green spaces across the UK; and Mapping for Change has itself run a project to map community air quality in London.
