Transport for London's #ULEZ scheme cleaned London's air:
Gas boilers now biggest source of #AirPollution in central #London, study shows
"The findings highlight the success of transport interventions, such as the London Low Emission Zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), in significantly reducing #NOx emissions from vehicles."

Aerial View of London.
A snapshot of London whilst flying to Stansted airport yesterday early evening. Looking East. The sky was clear and air amazingly clean.
Looking for some #positivity to end the week? I have recapped 42 notable #positive #environmental and #ClimateChange articles from past month including: the benefits of the #Ulez in #London, #Texas setting a new record for #Renewable #Energy generation and #NewDelhi creating seven new biodiversity parks on previously degraded land.

London Begins to Breathe Better
A study by the Greater London Authority has shown that the city’s levels of lethal pollutants have substantially decreased since the expansion of the UK capital’s ultra low emission zone (Ulez).
The London-wide zone covers nine million people across 1500 km2, the world’s largest zone of its kind.
The report shows that not only have deprived areas seen some of the biggest improvements but air quality has improved in all areas and at a faster rate than the rest of the country.
Nitrogen dioxide is down 27% since Ulez first came in in 2019. PM2.5’s (small particle emissions) are down 31% in outer London compared to what would have been without the Ulez expansion.
Speaking to the Guardian, Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said, “When I was first elected, evidence showed it would take 193 years to bring London’s air pollution within legal limits if the current efforts continued. However, due to our transformative policies we are now close to achieving it this year.”

Yayy!
Fuck you Anti-ULEZ Oligarch minions, suck on your crypto investments.

The Pollution is killing our kids, and the Government acknowledges it in the only meaningful way it has, with money. Yet sad little men are taking down ULEZ cameras because the right to drive around their personality supports is more than our right to clean air.
Grazie alle #ZTL più bambini vanno a scuola in #bici, a piedi o con i #mezzipubblici
I risultati di questo studio non sorprenderanno nessuno, eppure ogni giorno davanti alle nostre scuole c'è un inferno di #auto all'ora di ingresso ed uscita. E tutti si lamentano. E allora cosa aspettiamo a migliorare la vita di tutti?
Which is of course why so many influential people - including some in the #labourparty - were so vehement in opposing the extension of #ulez !
@davidho small men attacking the ULEZ cameras because they don't give a fuck about children, their lungs or their general wellbeing.
Just so long as they get to drive their broom-broom cars around and think they are big men......who are the real children in this scene I wonder?
"London mayor Sadiq Khan to close ULEZ scrappage scheme in three weeks"
More than 200 vehicles that fell foul of #London’s ultra-low emission zone (#Ulez) have been sent to Ukraine to aid the country’s war effort, despite initial legal concerns over the plan.
Transport for London (TfL) said on Friday that 330 vehicles had been given the green light to be sent to #Ukraine under the Ulez vehicle scrappage scheme. More than 200 are already in the eastern European country.
