This Thursday is Clean Air Day
https://www.cleanairday.org.uk/. Motorists are encouraged to leave fossil-fuelled vehicles at home and travel to work by alternate means - bike or public transport. Commuters to Manchester might try the train, where they can relax in the comfort of Northern Rail's carriages, secure in the knowledge that they will reach their destination relaxed and on time, breathing the fresh countryside air rather than the fumes of the car in front.
Oh - scrub that. Thursday is a rail strike day.
