This Thursday is #CleanAirDay. To mark it, we are planning a short (!) ride around the boundaries of Edinburgh’s new low-ambition unenforced LEZ. edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/d…
It isn’t a formal ride with marshals but if you’d like to join we’ll be leaving Middle Meadow Walk at 8pm.

Our gvmt doesn't account consumption emissions in calculations - which ignores the environmental impact of imported goods. Instead it blames these emissions on the countries who make the goods. overshootday.org/
