Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change. Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Some good news. Air pollution is a leading cause of illness, death, and poor quality of life, plus bikes and parks are awesome. wapo.st/42LaIRA

Orchards for health - how to plant an orchard and engage staff and patient communities  - NHS Forest Orchards are invaluable community spaces. They can enhance general health and wellbeing or be used for nature-based therapy.

Orchards provide immense social and environmental value to hospitals and healthcares sites. We have a seasonal calendar for orchards, which includes cultural events and ideas to engage both staff and patients.
