Today the government have announced that they're opening a public consultation on the burning of wood and solid fuels in an effort to reduce fine particulate matter and smoke emissions.

We are supporting today’s #CleanAirNight in Sheffield, Endcliffe Park. The campaign to increase awareness of the dangers of air pollution from wood burning inspired by @mumsforlungs.bsky.social
We hope you will stop burning wood indoors, for your own health and for the health of your neighbours.

Welcome to Hove on #CleanAirNight & more specifically the shopping hub 7 Dials that despite being well served with a great & frequent bus service, on most days is stuffed w private cars, & quite a few diesel SUVs.
Here goes, I thought, get these posters onto as many shop windows as you can. 🧵1/7

Thanks to Alex in #Isleworth for putting up our posters in her local GP surgery and community centre, and for chatting to Hounslow Fire Brigade about #WoodBurning. Burning wood and smokeless fuel makes our air dirty and harms #Health. #CleanAirNight @lfb-hounslow.bsky.social

DEFRA has just published a consultation on solid fuel burning. We're happy to see a long-term campaign ask addressed - warning labels on stoves. However, the proposals will only impact future emissions; they will do nothing to help all those affected by existing burning. #CleanAirNight #WoodBurning

The webinar includes a Communities Against Woodsmoke presentation, which is also on our channel, with subtitles.

"The smell of a warm fire, which many people find comforting, brings me so much anxiety, because all I can think is what it's doing to the health of my loved ones."

Thanks for taking part in our #CleanAirNight poster campaign Chloe. Much more needs to be done about #WoodBurning in the UK.

If you missed the ERCS Lunchtime Air Pollution 101 session on Tuesday, you can watch it back here. Great presentations from Communities Against Woodsmoke, @globalactionplan.bsky.social & @jillbelch.bsky.social, and discussion around actions that can be taken. #Scotland #AirPollution

Today is #CleanAirNight and we’re delighted to support @mumsforlungs.bsky.social and their campaign to reduce wood burning.

Make this the year you stop burning wood indoors, for your own health and for the health of your neighbours 💚

Thank you @helenjane.bsky.social, and the Tin Man, for helping to share the facts about #WoodBurning!

Our posters are popping up all over the country - have you spotted one yet? #CleanAirNight

How can replacing fireplaces and older stoves with modern Ecodesign wood burning stoves, help provide cleaner air, when the NAEI data clearly shows that 22 pollutants of 53, would be higher?

It’s #CleanAirNight! Did you know that wood burning is the most polluting way to heat your home? Wood burning smoke produces fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5), which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and can cause heart & lung disease, as well as increase your risk of diabetes and dementia

Huge thanks to our volunteers for putting up these posters to help shine a light on the uncomfortable facts about #WoodBurning. Here's a selection from London, Sheffield and Manchester. Can you think twice about burning? #CleanAirNight

It's #CleanAirNight. Can you rethink burning, tonight and beyond?

Wood burning creates tiny particles of pollution (including soot and carbon) that lodge deep in our bodies and make us sick. This doesn't just affect the household burning, but their neighbours, too.

92% of people burning wood indoors have another way to heat their home.

Please share the facts, and think twice about burning tonight and beyond.

How much #AirPollution is created when you burn wood?

👉 Defra approved/#Ecodesign stove = 400 times more polluting than a gas boiler.
👉 Open fire = 4000 times more polluting than a gas boiler.

Please think twice about burning if you don't need to.

Thanks to Guildford Council for raising awareness of #WoodBurning ahead of #CleanAirNight.

Burning wood and smokeless fuels emit tiny particles that go deep into our lungs and bodies, making us sick. Please don't burn if you don't need to!
