What can I do?
Individual actions can have a direct impact on air pollution. Reducing energy use at home, at work, and when travelling can cut emissions and save money.
Traffic is the main cause of local air pollution in Sussex. So, the best action to improve air quality is to walk, cycle, take public transport, or use the car less. These also contribute to a healthier lifestyle and can sometimes be quicker and cheaper.
Keep your car serviced and the tyres inflated properly to reduce emissions and running costs.
Turn your engine off if you are waiting to pick up passengers, parked, or stuck in traffic.
If you have a wood-burning stove or open fire, maintain it and only use logs with the ‘Ready to Burn’ logo.
