Ce mercredi (10 janvier), la BBC2 a présenté Fighting For Air. Le documentaire est l’histoire d’une expérience menée dans Kings Heath, Birmingham visant à réduire la pollution de l’air au niveau des trottoirs de rues achalandées.
La Ville de Birmingham a réagit positivement au programme, bien que l’administraton ait rapidement été critiquée en ligne pour ce qui est perçu comme un manque d’effort de sa part sur cet enjeu.
Lisez l’article ici, avec des réactions du conseil de ville de Birmingham, de l’ONG Sustrans et l’entreprise Urban Cycles (en anglais) ➡️ http://birminghameastside.com/2018/01/11/fighting-air-pollution/
