Pollution


Traffic

A seemingly harmless scene, a few cars and a bus carrying people to London. Unfortunately our excessively liberal attitude towards motorised transport is making one of the most polluted cities in the UK - Oxford, a dangerous place to live.

Air pollution kills tens of thousands of people each year and causes misery to many millions. Oxides of nitrogen and ozone damage all of our lungs and hearts, cause cancer and increase miscarriage rates.

Yet, we love driving around, we love convenience, we love status.

So 80s, so tacky.
