Thank you for joining us throughout the day for #WDPA2024 🏃
Remember physical activity encompasses a wide range of movement, not just sport. Make time to be physically active, and most importantly find something that you enjoy doing!

We already know air pollution is stunting the growth of children's lungs. Once this happens, there is no going back, our children's lungs are marked. Forever. There is no "undo" button if we make a mistake now, no chance to correct it in years to come. Air pollution kills.
