Another lockdown possibly ? /s

Lockdown was bliss for pollution here in London. Air smelled totally different.

We don’t want more lockdowns but we need to fix society so we don’t have to travel so much on a daily basis.

As a foreign tourist in london, london needs to fix its infrastructure. The amount of fine dust in the tubes is criminal.

I'm sorry, but I'm totally over this type of nonsense. "Expert says" just signals bullshit to me at this point. Clickbait. I'm exhausted at this point.

Then maybe stop going to news sites? Give yourself a break and re-engage when you think you can deal with it again.

Wow 9 million a year die prematurely. The environmental crisis is manifold: we have the destruction of species and habitats, the global warming problem, and now also just trash - overuse of plastics is a huge problem, air pollution is pretty terrible.

Yeah tube dust is nasty. I’ll give you that. I barely ever use the tube now preferring to use overground trains and walk if possible.

A lot of people don’t seem to know that a lot of tube journeys can be done in a few minutes on foot.
