What next?
These resources have been developed to support your student's learning - with this knowledge they can decide on changes to make in their communities to improve air quality, and feel confident in doing so.
Why not meet as an eco-club to decide on what to do next - can you share this information further. to parents/carers and governors? Or put up anti-idling posters? Campaign for more students using active-travel to and from school? Implement a School Street?
