See that QR code? That gives you access to the EPRL product database so you can find out precisely who made and who tested your product and who you sue if its wrong. British people don't need to know that sort of stuff.

Did you know particulate levels have fallen dramatically since the 1970s, according to @DefraGovUK? More efficient appliances and better burning practices are helping to make our air cleaner #sharethefacts #cleanerair

Wouldn't a Manchester-Midlands Peak District railway be a great and beautiful thing? Unfortunately, the trackbed is already there, so it wouldn't cost much, or make much £££ for 'Chums'. All the same, there's a petition you might care to sign.. change.org/p/re-open-the-rai…

Burning wood in a modern #ecodesign stove cuts emissions by up to 90% when compared to an open fire & by up to 80% compared to an older stove. Modern stoves are a low carbon, low emission & sustainable way to heat your home. #woodburning #stoves #airquality #sustainable

Another day, another paper using wrong assumptions to argue that EVs emit more CO2 than combustion cars. This one from Stahl Automotive Consulting. Forgot who brought it to my attention but please let me know if it gets a lot of traction and needs a proper debunk.
